12bk help

Hi I need some help with a leia 12bk, what I need to know is did the Kenner ones ever come with a slick seal? I have just bought an afa 80 one and the seal looks slick which is worrying me slightly, any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks

Hi mate, have you got any photo's?

photos added

tried to get the best pics I could, hopefully someone can advise me

The fact it has the price sticker and no visible tears to indicate a reseal would point towards it being legit but I'm afraid I don't know enough about 12 backs to say yes or no with anymore certainty.

Looks lovely though.

yeh mate there is no visible damage to hint at a reseal, I know palitoy did slick seals but have never seen a kenner with one, I know it being graded presumes its legil but then again they graded toni's didn't they, I did some research and there was another thread on here from 2011 which indicates that there has been kenner 12 bk's with slick seals, was hoping someone has seen on of these in the flesh as theres so much experience on this forum

There are genuine 12bk Kenner cards out there without the waffle seal, but they are few and far between.

I'd say your perfectly safe with this one.

My gut instinct is it's fine. Interesting that the blaster is not taped up, has it come loose or was it never taped? I've noticed 12 backs are a bit random for this.

Great addition anyway.

Looks fine buddy !!

I wouldn't worry Lindo, I have seen a few smooth seal Kenner examples in the past.
The store sticker is extra validation if any is needed that someone like an American Toni hadn't purchased a warehouse clearance of cardbacks and bubbles.
Nah, this is absolutely fine sir 8)

Saying that, I have just returned from an away weekend in Nottingham with 3 excellent points so I will pat anyone on the back :wink:

Thanks for the reassurance guys, was a tad twitchy when I saw it

Hi Guys

Please excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between a waffle seal and a slick seal? Are there any other types of seals? Is there any where on the site that can show me a picture comparing a slick seal to waffle seal?

Thanks for your help.

it's the pattern on the seal - smooth seals are.... well smooth. Waffle seals have a cross hatch pattern on them like a Shreddie

Are there any other types of seals or is that it?
