[QUOTE="UKS, post: 533754, member: 10841"] Ok, here is the first (major!) batch. I'll pulled out all the Kenners and put to one side, and most the Palitoy ROTJ Like Bib, Klatuu etc. Bizzarely, (as I would have only been 4 or 5) I can remember purchasing some of these - and a few still have shop labels on! I will ID where I can... The story behind these, is as far as I can remember, whenever I got a new Star Wars figure, I would put the cardback into "my drawer" which was in a standard MFI cupboard from the seventies. I loaded a variety of childhood things into that drawer intill about 1989 when it was full and then I must have stopped. That drawer remained *untouched* until my parents passed away about 7 years ago and we had to clear the house. I put the cardbacks into a box folder and put it to one side, where it was "lost* until I found it in the garage the other day. My great sadness was not keeping that drawer as a time capsule. It was a hard time (obvs) and so I didn't really think like that - but all the emphemera in that drawer and how it was layered (just like an archeological dig!) would have been fascinating for any photo-pop-retro-historian. Just to give a taste, it was full of things like old school books, Superman 3 rub games that came in cereal, Black Couldron Kellogs give-aways and finished with a bad drawing of the Ogre from the GW bloodbowl game! Anyway, onto the cardbacks!
