I saw a load of Palitoy cards offered for sale today on one of the Facebook groups for £15 each. I assume Fett will have a premium and probably Luke Bespin as well. Not sure how much though to be fair.

Would love to get my hands on that Fett card if poss. Luke Bespin is nice too...

 

[Frunkstar]

Nice there seems to be a lot more love for cardbacks now, so I am sure you'll get a fair price for these! bet you don't have a 20 back going begging do you? can't seem to get one to save my bacon & I don't even care if the front is trashed, just want it for the back.

Hey Frank - sorry buddy only got these

 

[Frunkstar]

the search continues :lol: its like trying to find the bloody holy grail I swear, been looking for 18 months already.

There's a loose Fett with Palitoy card up at the moment for £daft but that doesn't mean it will sell, the palitoy logo is torn as well on that one.
As said the luke Bespin and LXW will command higher prices, the Palitoy logo seems to be very popular at the moment.
More and more people are collecting cardbacks, and were, as the prices were much more affordable than mocs, but the cardbacks ar now starting to command higher prices as well.

They are nice cardbacks though Andy, good luck with them mate

Cheers Mike

Will drop you a PM soon buddy

In terms of rarity I'd have put the 41 back Luke X-wing at the top. Certainly MOC he's the rarest.

Fett however always has a huge mark up.


Where's Jason when we need him? He's the Palitoy cardback man

 

[Michael Sith]

I knew the LXW would command a good price, but a couple of them look real contenders for a reseal as well such as the Han Hoth, Han bespin and the TFP.
Reseal collectors would bid on them as a project, so again bumping up the prices, sure Jason will chip in as said mate.

Liking that Luke X wing. As far as cardbacks go... They are going for way more than they used to.

Worth 35 GBP apparently :lol:

Ha!

But still shows that Fett always seems to come with a premium. On his own, worth almost as much as the other five combined!

 

[Palifan]

Sorry for posting up the links but couldn't help myself

I saw these come up for sale and thought they were all at a very good price so think you'll do well on the resale for most of them. A quick look on ebay in the sold section for these card backs should give you a more accurate idea as to regular value. there have been a few ESB Luke X-Wing recently and it really depends on condition and who's in the market for them at the same time.

Best of luck with it!

No secret I snapped them up!

Thought they would be a nice investment towards a new MOC!

I think you might be onto something :wink:

 

[SublevelStudios]

:lol:

And I asked that bitch if she had any other backing cards days before she posted these up!

Oh well I got at least one I really wanted

Thanks again Andy

What 20bk card are you after Frank? I think I have a couple of Kenner ones with pops cut out.
