I have in the past limelighted my palitoy cardbacks by character run, thought it was about time to do some by cardback type, so here they are.
And what with the rapture due any hour now depending on what timezone you're in, it's not a moment too soon!

First up are the 12 backs, the first SW card, a mixture of 12A/12B here as Han was only found on 12A and Jawa/DSC have only been found on 12B. None missing on this run.

Next up are the 20 backs. None missing on this run.

Next are the 30A backs, the first ESB card. Luke and Leia feature their alternative pictures on this cardback. None missing on this run.

Next are the 30B cardbacks. 30B for the first 12/20 characters are quite rare. I have 5 of them. I have all known 30B's beyond the first 12/20 characters.

Next are the 41 backs. There's a mixture of 41A & 41B/41C as most charcters are one or the other, but not both. Missing a few on this run.

Next up are the 45A backs, the only palitoy card to feature a blue circle offer. Got all known variations here. There may be an undocscovered Yoda/Ugnaught out there. Note that 4-LOM is the only character to come in 2 different types of 45A. The background on the text under the blue circle is transparent on one, and black on the other one.

Next is the 65 back, a mixture of 65D, and 65A/B/C as characters were either one type or the other. Missing a few here. There are quite a few characters were 65D's have not been found yet.

Lastly, is the 70 back, or Tri Logo. There are 6 characters that came without the Tri Logo on the front which are quite rare, I have 3 of them. Then there are the last 17 that came out after the first 70 characters which still say 70 figures on the back. I have all of those.

That's all, hope you enjoyed seeing them all together!

now THAT is impressive!
well done, and tnx fror sharing!

Now that's what I'm talking about. Jawa & Madine Tri in great condition- just CCP & Bespin guards missing? Rapture is over- I'm still here- if you're not I suppose it's too late to ask to be in your will The Palitoy logo certainly does have extra appeal.

Pretty sweet cards. I'll have to keep an eye out for some IG-88 ones now.

Still here!

What a fantastic collection of cardbacks, they look great seeing them side by side for each cardback #. You seem to have them in some sort of sleeves, do you mind telling me where you get them from?

Sure, I got them here several years ago:-

Jason,

What a joy to look at this huge focused collection.


What is your favourite top-5 cardback in your collection (in any order)?

Oooh, that's quite hard.

1) 30B Princess Leia (or 30B DSC). 30B's for the first 12 characters are uber rare, and Han Solo/Ben are the more common ones.
2) Hammerhead 45A. Was only discovered as a MOC late last year, this is the only other known example.
3) 4-LOM 45A/45AB. The 2 different types of this cardback lead to me discovering that 45A is actually 3 different sub variations, and 4-LOM is the only character that has more than 1 sub variation.
4) Yoda 65D. Is unique as far as I know. There are many other characters without 65D variations being discovered yet.
5) The 70B General Madine (or the Jawa). Nice to have both the holy grails of tri-logo cardback collecting.
