please give me some good news!

[silver grin]

After what happened last week with my selling 2 perfectly good cards that I believed to be re-cards i've been looking through my collection and came across this beauty I bought off ebay about 5 years ago for about £75.

Is it an okay piece? I only ask because it looks spanking new! The card has a slight crease but the bubble is in mint condition and I suppose now with what happened i'm shitting it over the condition of bubbles and if they look too good then they may just be fake!

Cheers lads

Cant tell for sure but it looks ok to me.

Chris.

 

[tigerham]

Why, are you selling it dude?

 

[silver grin]

Cheers Chris

No, i'm not selling it Ham. Always been after the ROTJ version of this figure but whenever i've seen one it's been so pricey!

 

[Caswellbot]

Indeed. If you are selling it I think I know a buyer for you if it turns out to be 100% legit.

 

[tigerham]

It's a nice piece dude but always prefered the SW cardback

Wouldn't mind an R2 ESB tho, kinda like that one and haven't got any ESB's. Traded my Palitoy obi with Lee and that was the only ESB I had :?

 

[PGowdy]

I think you got a good deal for 75! Very nice piece.

 

[silver grin]

So you think it is ok then Pete? Think I might send this to UK graders when I get paid :wink:

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah i don't see anything wrong with it. Looks like it's got those rounded edges too which i quite like.
Would grade quite well i think. Card would fair a little worse than the fig and bubble which are both near perfect.

Thanks Pete.

Just seen this on ebay, it looks fantastic:

might keep an eye on this :wink:

 

[PGowdy]

Massive POP removal crimes on the back tho... :?

 

[silver grin]

oh yeah :shock:

i've been looking at so many different ones today! got my eye on an ESB Imperial Commander 8)

 

[tigerham]

Dude just be prepared to wait for 3 months to get ya figure back from grading... might be worth sending a few. Glad I did :? :wink:

But think I'm gonna try n get them already graded form now on, about the same cost (ish) and alot quicker!

 

[silver grin]

yeah, i'm all over that Ham. I've only ever bought AFA graded figures before and never got them graded myself just because of the hassle i've heard people have with them. I've just sent a family guy figure off to get graded to UK graders and will no doubt start sending my ESB collection to them in the near future to have them graded 8)

From the picture It looks like there is some tearing or residue under the blister. Could just be camera flash, but if you see any glue residue or tear under the sealed area of the blister, it may be a reseal.

Yeah would be easier but I just dont think UKG are as accurate and well established but hey a business has gotta start somewhere
