Item Description
AFA graded and encapsulated 12 Back-A blister card contains 3.75" tall action figure of Sand People (Tusken Raider) from Kenner's popular 1978 "Star Wars" toyline, ©1977 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. Yellow SKU stand likely from Chewbacca. This No Punch version is believed to be the earliest known carded Sand People sample at this time. SKU on footer. AFA-graded 75 EX+/NM (Archival case). AFA subgrades are as follows - C75 B80 F80. Comes with notarized Collectible Investment Brokerage (CIB) LOA. This figure is from a recent discovery of rare early production items in Minnesota. Whereas unpunched cards do exist and are coveted among collectors, this example never saw the final stage of production where the hang tab would have been perforated for store display. That makes this No Punch card unique and it is the first to come to market of any of the "Star Wars" 12 Back figures. A key piece for any pre-production/early production collector.
