NEW - Cardback collectors thread.

Thought it would be a good idea to start a thread dedicated to cardback collecting like on RS. i know theres a newly sticky cardback collectors trade/swaps on here but thought we could have a general discussion thread, showcase links, recent purchases etc.

mods can this be sticky

regards chris

il kick off....

quick question, now i know there are lots of different cardbacks star wars, empire, jedi, no obviously not every figure was available on these but my question is 'were all 92 figures available on trilogo cards?

the answer to your question is yes the only major figure not too have a tri logo back was c3po fixed limbs which of course was replaced by the c3po break apart limbs when esb cards came out.

on a side note the death star commander did not have its own release on a tri logo per say, it was on trilogo back but was only found carded on a atst driver cardback this is known as a 'mis card' and is very hard too find and is highly sought after.

There's 90 in total including the 6 hybrids, or 84 without hybrids. The photo above is missing 2 hybrids, I have acquired 1 since the photo, so 1 more to go!

Nice thread btw!

I think if you are talking about cardbacks then the SDC is missing, it is not his image nor his name on the cardback. It is an AT-ST cardback. Just think if you have just the cardback you cant claim that a SDC was on it.

Now if you are talking about actual figures being released then I can see the miscard argument.

Thanks
Todd

sorry guys didnt realise this thread was up and running...

my question is do teh cardbacks come in different sizes... and different colour yellows on teh back

cheers

Phil

most cards are 6 x 9 inches kenner palitoy trilogo with rounded corners .however though in the french market for starwars 'guerre des etoiles' the figures were put on square cards no rounded corners 6 1/3 x 7 1/10 inches. made and distributed by meccano.

concerning yellow on the back i dont know much .....
i do know that pbp(spanish) rotj cards haves a washed out yellow back!
and a very light yellow trilogo backs is often associated to cards sold in germany.

Not massively into cardbacks (although I have picked a few hundred up over the years) - however I do like these - they are all a bit hacked at but you don't see them in any condition that often

lol, not into them but you have a few hundred! :lol:

Thanks for the help, these are the two I will be living up.... just thought they were interesting that they were different In size as hadn't noticed that before
