This may be a dumb question lol buts whats "with SKU on stand" refer to Jason?

Come on Jay! It means the SKU is on the stand .

Really I have no idea. I submitted it to the AFA and they added that. I did not even see it??? I am guessing there is a SKU under his feet on the stand or something. Not in front of it right now but just looking at the pics.

Anyone?

SKU = Stock Keeping Unit ??
I'm guessing it's a ref number located on the stand ??

Anyone?

Yes it refers to a stock number / item number marked on the footstand I believe.

Not sure if that makes it rarer or not but I guess they felt it warranted a mention .

Jason,

In a large collection that was recently brokered earlier this year an 85 (85/85/85) was offered initially for $2000. The one I am talking about originated from a Kenner salesman but I am not sure if that factored into the price. I think these are considered the earliest 12-a releases but others can probably set the record straight if I am wrong.

Not sure if it was sold or not. Hope this helps!

BTW pulled this from one of Jeff's (jeffscollectableempire) listings

"THE VERY FIRST 12-A CARDS HAD A SKU NUMBER ON THE FOOTER PIECE WHERE THE FIGURE STANDS ON"

Looks like Chris was right. Thanks again

EXCELENTE!!!!!

Great find my friend!!!! ........ Now , you have a very first 12-A Card in your hand!!! Even better if it´s Darth Vader!!!

Jason,

If you saw that from Jeff then that is the exact same one. Jeff was (is??) brokering a collection that was initially being brokered by someone else.. I think BToys is also handling some of that collection so you may see it there too.

BTW - the price I told you was the original asking price from the original broker back from earlier this year. I am sure anyone else trying to sell it will have it marked up 10-20% or more.

Nice find, dude! Definitely a rare one!

Sorry guys . The pic is not great. I will take another later but for now here he is

Jason, Just an FYI, there was a Vader, R2, 3PO, Stormtrooper and Chewie in that collection and all of them could have listed by BT or Jeff at some point.

I assume they were all graded? I just had this one graded myself. Had no idea it was a good one .

Jason

Yeah, they were all graded.

Interesting thread. Do double telescoping MOCs have this characteristics? Seems logical that they would.

Jason, now I´m asking all my friends that have 12 Back´s to send me pics of their ungraded MOC´s !!

What am I supposed to be looking for on that MOC?

:scratch:

I see it . It is a white numbering on the top of the figure stand under where vader stands. I thought it would be on the bottom but it is on the top yellow part of the stand and towards the back. Very nice catch by the AFA .

I will try to see if I can get a good pic of it here shortly.
