Hi

I have an imperial gunner POTF Imp gunner plus coin. The card is in v good condition but the bubble is yellowed with a nasty crack.

Just wondering what it is worth as it is?

cheers :D

figure probably removable - have been tempted for display with rest of my last 17 loose there's of risk further damage to bubble. Card good slight rub where sticker/residue has been removed good edges. iphone artificial light pics but you get the gist

If you post a picture, you'll get an accurate valuation.

Removing figures from beater cards is generally frowned upon here, not a great way to ingratiate yourself into a vintage Star Wars forum.

Cheers lol

Didn't want to leave anything controversial up till I had chance to reply to be fair weasel. I have dug the card out and its not as bad as I remember to be honest. I've it a fair while it was a postage casualty originally so I got it fairly cheap -shame as it is pretty decent apart from the bubble.

The figure could probably be carefully removed but there would admittedly be a risk of cracking it a little further at the top benny I'll put some photos up in a mo opinions appreciated :D

Thanks for putting the pics up. I think you're probably looking at £60. It's a nice card still. Perhaps offer it up as a swap for minty loose figure or sell it and buy one.
There's plenty of folk who will like the moc in its current state.

Yep, I'd pay c£50-£60 for it in that condition, it'd be perfect as I build my MOC run and it could be replaced later as and when a better one comes along. You'd get a great loose at that money too. Please don't open it fully if you choose not to sell.

Hi Dave. Yes. DO NOT OPEN IT. By most standards that is a decent MOC. Their are several people who would be more than satisfied with that in his collection :)

Not sure on prices, but that's a great looking MOC. The bubble is ****ed but plenty of collectors would be more than happy to own it. As it's not graded you could build a small support for the bubble to stop it getting any worse it will help especially if you sell and post it.

Definitely don't open it.

Please put me on the list too (but Frank will probably get it :lol: )

I don't have a problem with cracked bubbles...most of my carded figs are just that!

Fingers crossed! I'd hate to see it opened so for me a number in that region makes it worth while for both filling a gap in my collection and the MOCs preservation...

Don't open it! It's in better condition than mine and I sent it to AFA just so it would be in the same case as all my other MOC's.

Seriously have I missed something here, apart from the cracked bubble everything is nice, it's evan unpunched. :shock:

Thanks for your comments guys much appreciated :) Instructions not to tamper with it duly noted lol forgive my inexperience.

Only been collecting a few years - toys as a kid. I've built up an almost complete loose collection nearly all c85 or better (plus a few other bits) and need a gunner. I'm not really in a position to start an moc collection (although I do like the card) so I may be up for offers - benny100 if you were implying supplying a good loose then feel free to pm me. edit - sos didn't see all posts and other request I'm open to offers partial trade ideal- edit

I guess this thread shouldn't be used to trade it so I'll put it on for sale at some point or I may just keep it a while in light of the positive comments lol.

Thanks again for your input guys much appreciated

Cheers :D

Thanks for the positive comment - never really owned many mocs but the condition of the card attracted me to it when I bought it. It must be nice to have an moc collection - my interest would be in SW and a few ESB cards as they're the ones I remember best but it would be an expensive place to start lol maybes once I've thinned down some extra stuff I've got such as this.

cheers m8 :D

Do it, you know you want to.

Before you know it you'll be going for all 96. :lol:
