Yellow Bubbles

Hi All

I know its a question thats been asked a million times but I have been looking at some really nice carded figures lately, most with yellow bubbles.

How many of you carded figure collectors are put off by this?

How many feel that by paying more now for a clear bubble will only find one day they will turn yellow?

Cheers Daz

I would never buy a card with a yellow bubble no matter how rare the piece was or how desperate I was to get one.

Once they start to go yellow they'll just get worse over the years.

i have a few cards some with yellow bubbles,it doesnt bother me as it seems more authentic

It is a shame though, I have just watched a fantastic mint carded Jawa go on Ebay with a yellow bubble, I usually stay clear but I can see them all going yellow one day.

the way they look doesnt bother me so much, its the fact they go really brittle and crack/break easily.

Come on Jabba you know that aint gonna happen, but Edd that AFA90 R2 looks like its goin to crack soon :lol:

With my POTF set Yellow bubbles didn't bother me.

If there's piece i'm going for now and I feel i have a choice I will go for a clear.

Have you seen any of your figures go from clear to yellow over the years Gary?

No fortunately.

I only collect palitoy now and they don't seem prone to yellowing. Though I have a couple that were yellow when I bought them.

Thats good, I have heard Pali's are good for that.

In fact, you could charge more for a yellow bubbled palitoy, they're that rare

:lol:

Well I will get my Luke out in the sun next year then :lol:

yellow bubbles dont bother me that much, i would prefer to get the figures i buy without, but if i really want it, i get it, so long as its not too yellow!!!

ive got figures that have gone yellow since buying them, so it can happen still unfortunately

i would pay handsomely for a yellow tri logo :lol:

If you are going to collect potf figures then you will HAVE to buy figures with yellow bubbles because allmost all of them are yellow.

Does anyone know if the AFA Archived casing actually works to stop the bubble yellowing?The casing looks identical to regular.
None of mine have turned yellow yet,just wondered if anyone else's had.
I have a few of my better pieces archived and none have yellowed yet.I would hate for my Boba Fett to have a yellow bubble one day.

i dont think it has anything to do with light personally, more likely humidity.

i had a rotj han hoth that went yellow over a period of about 2 years. it was kept in a box so cant have anything to do with light.
