What would you do ?

[Pomse2001]

Hi guys I am totally confused, so maybe you guys can help me ?

I have this 4 cards and I do not know if I should keep them all or only one of each :?

Hammerhead card is open so you can take figure out and the other one is a beautiful cardback.



Death Squad commander, bubble is cut open so you can take figure out and card is bend and the other one a nice cardback again.



So what would you do keep them all until you got a moc of both or sell one of each ?

 

[Richard_H]

I'd keep the two cardbacks and sell the opening cards.

 

[Jedi_june]

I 2nd that motion

 

[Pomse2001]

Another big question why would you guys do that ?

 

[poncho]

the figures are loose! so you really have 2 loose figures and 2 cardbacks of each figure
if you already own the said figures i would only keep these ones if they were better than ones you have.
the 2 figures with bubbles are rough cards creased and ripped so the 2 loose cardbacks are worth more and worth keeping

thus flog the cards with bubbles and figs keep the 2 loose cardbacks.

Take the bubbles off the shite cards and put them on the good ones.

 

[Pomse2001]

Looks like you all want me to keep the nice cards

And todd want me to remove the bubbles and put them on the good cards, but I am not a pro like you Todd. So I do not know how to do that :wink:

That's the way I'd do it but the DSC would be a tricky repair with the race track edge.....still, he who dares!

What he said 8) Todd - the voice of reason

 

[Section 8]

Too risky to take the Hammer bubble remnants off the good card.

I'd sell the carded figs and keep the nice cards....

....or spend 5 minutes watching Ponchbelts Red Dwarf clip like i did, and then think about what to do with the cards. :lol:

 

[Michael Sith]

Options:


1. Sell the split/ open cards with figs. There are collectors ( like me :wink: ) who will never own these as MOCS
BUT would have and display them for what they are.....vintage SW and love them for what they are
I'm not bothered about the minty ness, just for what they are.

2. Display mint figures loose in front of the really nice cards

3. Post the whole lot to Todd for a quality reseal wash and brush up


It's all dependant on what you want, personally to me condition doesn't matter, if its a reseal, beater, split or damaged MOC , it's still vintage and original , therefore a genuine piece

 

[tiefighterboy]

There is way to make these bubbles nice transplants onto the better cardbacks.

 

[Pomse2001]

Thanks guys for all the great ideas

Todd, I did not know that the bubbles could be removed and put on a another card and make it look cool :shock:

But I don't think that is an option for me, because I do not know how to do that :?

These are two cut bubbles I transplanted onto card backs, they were Palitoy 12 back cut cards as well!

 

[tiefighterboy]

You would actually remove more than the bubble for the DSC as there is tearing on the other cardback. The hammerhead would be the easy one.

 

[lee gray]

unless you love ****ed up cards otherwise its the better condition cards to keep all the way.

No video although I was thinking about documenting it next time I do one (of which I have a few on the back burning to get to at some point). It is a bit tricky with the way I do it but you'll get the best results (I think?!).

I'll send you a PM about it over the weekend.

Cheers for the comment!
