Thanks Jason but I now dot know what to think
The 45c Han does so shelf wear - but so might other TTs that have been around a few years. The tri bubble is odd and I had put than down to the European later release - could that be Toni instead?
It's major saving grace is that the bubble is aligned well to the left but I've just looked at all my Kenners and the bubble alignment is no guarantee
Also my 65d bubble is narrow like the dimpled bubble, but aligned to the left
I have Kenner 47 and 48 backs with centrally aligned clear sealed bubbles and with large gaps between the base of the bubble and card. One has a price sticker otherwise I'd put these down to a US Toy Toni - the seals have always bugged me.
There may be loads of genuine cards out there but a lot of us will doubt them.
I got the feel that he has tri logo bubbles as I edited the guide. Various figures that have large style tri logo bubbles on too early card variations. Leia boussh and Lando skiff both also have tri logo bubbles rather than the special bubbles with the separate space for hats.
And Walrus Man which has a tri logo bubble and 10 graded AFA examples. Also for sale on toytoni.com
cheers Jason
Jason, I've just posted proof on the thread below that the 45C with PBP figs came with tri-logo bubbles so COO is all important. Your examples above may be legit. I forgot I used to own a battered 45C with Clipper catalogue and Tri bubble, definitely not a TT

Send me a link to your AFA90 21Bs as I'm getting more convinced that the actual number of Toni fakes in circulation is much lower than the assumed numbers. He may have had 500 card backs of Bossk but I doubt he amassed 500 Bossks or bubbles to go on them.
Apart from obviously ironed bubbles, the only bubbles I'm currently concerned about are dimpled ones and if they prove to be factory sealed I wont be that surprised.
I'm sure other bubbles are fake -but as yet the tells aren't there
