Palitoy ESB 30 back Bespin Security Guard -

[chazb73]

Hi guys -

Looking for a little info on my latest addition to my collection. Its a Palitoy Bespin Guard on a 30 back card.
As you can see from the pics its in good to very good condition and unpunched, the bubble is fully sealed to the card.
I know Palitoys are pretty rare, (I have a few, but they are re-seals or bubble has been cut)
So not sure how rare the Bespin Guard is

Cheers

Hi. I'm not too up on the ESB cards, but I'm sure the Bespin Guard 30 back is one of the harder ( which normally means expensive!!) ones to get. There was a thread a couple of weeks back about them. If I remember correctly, I think the value was around £500+. Probably more if you get the right buyer. Hope that helps. Welcome aboard too, and that's a nice looking moc you've got.

Congrats on the addition to your collection, you got a rare 30 back there!
There are not many 30 backs(Empire characters)rarer than the WBG!
If he were mint you'd have well over 1K there!!

Hi mate, glad you like us nutters on this here forum :lol:

Your piece is a little tough to value not having it in front of me. However taking into account the card damage I would put it in around the £700 bracket.

Hope that helps Pal.
