Item Description
AFA graded and encapsulated 47 Back Walrus Man blister card contains 4" tall action figure of Bib Fortuna. This sample card features Bib Fortuna wearing a white cape instead of the regular produced tan cape. Empire card is unpunched and has "Free! 4-LOM Action Figure" offer on front. Bottom half of card back has information/image of the figure that was available free w/purchase of any five Star Wars figures. This card was used for sample purposes for Kenner's popular 1984 "Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi" toyline as the Bib Fortuna Return of the Jedi card was not yet ready at this stage in development. The blister bubble also differs in that it is not the standard type used on carded figures; instead featuring square corners and made from a different type of plastic. ©1982 Lucasfilm Ltd. AFA-graded 80 NM (Archival case). AFA subgrades are as follows - C75 B80 F80. Very rare sample card example, this is one of just two examples graded by AFA. Comes with notarized Collectible Investment Brokerage LOA.
