Cardback collectors discussion

Andy, that's a fantastic POTF Barrada.   I love how the bubble is almost an orange colour.

Thanks Nicolas. That's probably going to be the last cardbacks from me for a while.

Nicolas, that's a very nice US 47 back TFP card.

Thanks Clint I found out collecting these cardback variants can be very addictive

Definitely addictive Nicolas!

Thank you for sharing your cardbacks Ian. I've also got a soft spot for Stormie cards.

cheers Steve
I don't know all the different varietys of cardbacks, with my collecting its just what I like the look of. the stormie cards do look good

In case you haven't seen it Ian, here's a link to my Stormie cardbacks: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Be careful Ian, cardbacks are addictive.

You have some beautiful cardbacks there.

Cheers, I haven't really bought many this year, prices seem to be on the rise, for my palitoy x wing card I got in a bidding war on ebay and paid around £20.00, for a damaged card that seemed a lot to me and put me off buying for a bit

Nice collection! I personally really like battered cardbacks, I find it and price tags give them a certain charm

This just made me realize that I don't have any Canadian card backs or MOCs except Jann Tosh lol

They are getting harder & harder to find now.

Overdue
(I think this thread got a bit burried. )

Here's my latest addition. French Meccano with the 'UFO' punch hole and a 'Fabrique a Macao' sticker applied over the printed 'Made In Hong Kong' coo. It also had the smaller ROTJ style bubble as opposed to the larger Tri-Logo bubble seen on other European issues.

Cool punch hole Steve, I've heard the term but never seen one

Very nice Mecanno, Steve

I found this Kenner (USA) Uncle Gundy card at a pawnshop a couple weeks back. Anyone ever notice that there is plainly a Yuzzum on this card art? Lol doesn't look much like the special edition one but it looks a lot like the early designs for the yuzzums in the preproduction art for ROTJ.

Steve, that's a fantastic Meccano Stormy cardback. It looks to be in great shape. Well done. I love the UFO shaped punch.

Chris, that's a really nice Uncle Gundy cardback. I don't have any droids or ewok cardbacks, so I didn't notice the Yuzzum on the card art. I'll try and find my "art of rotj" book, and see if I can spot the early design you're talking about.

Some more info on the UFO punch

Thanks for posting a link to this additional info Clint.

Following up on my unsubstantiated claim that there is a Yuzzum on Uncle Gundy's card back, here's a Yuzzum from "The Illustrated Star Wars Universe" (1996) (The art might be ROTJ concept or made for that book), and the next pic is some purple Yuzzums from the Ewok cartoon.

Picked up a couple interesting cardbacks today,

This is a pretty clean, bright, unpunched Kenner USA Luke Jedi Cardback, but on the back there is a Toronto Canada sicker that I'm not familiar with. It might be more recently applied, there's not much I can glean from the numbers. I'm guessing Clint might know about this lol
