Thank you. The only thing with it were pencil markings (luckily) so I easily rubbed them out without any damage...

I hate the ewoks in the vintage line but that's a beauty .
id gladly kill off every ewok for a grand moff tarkin but what do I know

It was a good weekend for me all round as the Cardbacks arrived safe and sound , looking better in the hand then I imagine ! And then watched West Ham beat Watford to give us a very important 3 points!

Thanks Ricky.

Here are the final lot of my latest acquisitions, my Chirpa run. (Including the previous Clipper).

Unfortunately and sadly the two first ones (Meccano and Clipper Double-stem bubbles) semi-detached (sounds like a house) from the cardbacks in transit. Both were in AFA and UKG casing (Clipper still in case) but no bubble guards in place.

Micro-Meccano - Double-stem bubble
Clipper - Double-stem bubble
Clipper - Standard bubble
Clipper - Mini Catalogue
Palitoy - Standard bubble
Palitoy - Tri-logo bubble
Kenner - Made in Mexico





AFA case opened, cleanly done...

Really nice run. They look amazing together.

Sweet collection, good work on finding them all in great condition.

Awesome set but hope you do not mind me asking - but what is a double stem bubble?

Thank you subzero. Despite the bubble lifts I was really lucky to find them all in such a short space of time.

A double stem bubble has two stems rather than one at the base of the bubble to aid the card to stand up.

Not seen them before but then again, didnt even know how varied the cardbacks are until i started here.

Everyday a learning day. Thanks mini99!

We all start somewhere.
