Jason,
That is an absolutely epic run of cards. Never seen such a thing. Going for MOC next? :lol:
Was this from that run of cards that was the subject of the discussions on outing auctions?

Some posts from facebook that I just made:-
Yes, it was a sister auction of the highlighted lot. The next highest one. When you out an auction like that, you effectively out all the auctions listed in a similar manner at the same time. Given I'd waited 8 years to finish the set, I thought trying to quash the links was a better option than saying nothing and hoping for the best...
And:-
The WIFI in Egypt was really ropey. My longest outage was almost a day until I figured out it didnt fill in the DNS entries properly and I wrote them down and typed them in by hand. I lost WIFI 4 minutes before the auction ended. I'd pre sniped before I went on holiday in case this happened and this saved my bacon in the end. Took me 2 hours to find a WIFI signal to see if I'd won or not via emails, and then another hour of finding a stronger WIFI signal in the resort I was in so I could get the paypal pay for ebay auction links to work properly.

Well that's certainly a tense couple of hours for you and I can see why my link I posted was reason for concern. This kind of thing happens all the time I'm sure so hopefully there will be some ruling here to help prevent this sort of thing happening. I know we can't stop this outing practice happening elsewhere but every little helps.
Just glad it all worked out and I'm still unsure why the listing I made the original thread on went so high for that card lot although I'm sure you have a good idea Jason?

That lot had 2 rare PBP cards in it, a Luke x-wing and a Luke farm boy.
Luke farm boy hasnt been seen before I think and isn't on the Spanish matrix:-

Consider that a less rare 2-1b that went for 350 euros for a card that was missing the top third of the card on RS a few months back. The bubble cut is nicer in my opinion. So 250 quid for 2 rare PBP (and a clipper worth 40 quid) might be a bargain.
Cheers Jason
Nice card back collection

Another big find. Thanks to Andy Clarke and Max Field for giving me the heads up on an ebay auction that had this bad boy in it:-
This 41 back sandpeople card/figure combo was previously unverified on the palitoy matrix:-

I now have the first 12 on 41 backs:-
And my complete run looks like this now:-

Love the sets.
Do we know for sure if Dengar exists on a 41 back?

I'm not 100% convinced tbh. It wasn't down as existing on palitoy.org but was likely a card I was told existed by word of mouth for my cardback guide. I still don't have a cardback of it in 10 years of looking.

The rumour has it Darren Simpson has a sealed example, but until we see proof I think it's existence is very unlikely. Would love to be proved wrong.

Congrats on your pick up

My latest addition is a Palitoy 45AD R5-D4 thanks to Tom Scaife.
This is a sub variation of the Palitoy 45A which also exists for R5-D4. This is the only figure known to have a 45A and 45AD variation.
Here are both cards together, the new 45AD variation is on the right:-
You can tell the cards apart on the front of the card as the A of 'BECOME A' is to the right of the R in 'WARS' on the next line.
The font on 'BECOME A' is also larger on the 45A compared to the 45AD. Here are both side by side to compare, 45AD is on the right:-
On the back the most obvious difference is the spelling of Leichester in the Palitoy address on the 45AD that is corrected on the 45A.
Also, the text underneath the address stretches further to the right on the 45AD compared to the 45A. I hadnt noticed this last
difference before. Given the spelling was wrong, and then corrected, this shows the 45AD card was the first one produced and the 45A
came afterwards. Here are both addresses side by side to compare, 45AD is on the right:-
This is my full run of cardbacks for this variation, I have every known one now. There are 51 so far:-
And here is a picture of all 10 cards that have been found on the 45AD variation. They are all in the first 20 figures seen on 12 and 20 backs
apart from Boba Fett. Its possible there are more of these that haven't been found yet. Please check your Palitoys and let me know if you
have a 45AD that is not shown here:-

FANTASTIC accomplishment buddy, envious.

The quest continues. There's a 45AD Sandpeople and possibly a Ben to get too!
Jason
That's a stellar run! Thanks for sharing

Many thanks to Paul Watts for gifting me a Palitoy 45AD Sandpeople to keep my run of 45As and 45ADs complete!
This first picture is all the known Palitoy 45ADs:-
And this second picture is the complete run of all 45A cardback types:-
You can tell the cards apart on the front of the card as the A of 'BECOME A' is to the right of the R in 'WARS' on the next line.
The font on 'BECOME A' is also larger on the 45A compared to the 45AD. And on the back the most obvious difference is the spelling
of Leichester in the Palitoy address on the 45AD that is corrected on the 45A.
I'm still looking for the possible existence of Ben Kenobi on the Palitoy 45AD variation. Please check your cards and let us
know if you have one!

It's been 8 long years since I added to my palitoy 30b run. Many thanks to Daren Wilde for giving me first dibs on his Chewbacca 30b to add to my run. I now have all of the seen 30b's for the first 12 figures, and all of the seen 30b's.
