The bubble has been professionally and painstakingly reattached = I brought a pritt stick from WH Smiths and stuck it back down last night.

A little shelf wear due to age = It's been banged around more times than Katie Price.

AFA worthy = It's not really, I just thought adding AFA into the title would make more people look at my crappy item.

Holy Grail - Everyone's got one.
I don't know much about star wars - I know plenty and I know for sure that this is not worth anything, please believe however that I am naive and that you would be taking advantage of me.
AFA it - Because, I personally wouldn't waste the time or money doing it.
From my childhood collection - ...that I picked up at a car boot sale 3 weeks ago.
