Description: UP FOR SALE IS A RARE ITEM! I'VE KNOWN ABOUT IT BUT SOME PEOPLE I SHOWED THIS TO DID NOT KNOW IT EXISTED! AS YOU SEE IT'S DARTH VADER ON AN ORIGINAL TRILOGY COLLECTION CARD. IN ITSELF IT'S NOT ANYTHING SPECIAL.HOWEVER, THIS ONE IS REFERRED TO AS A "HIDDEN SABER".THE FIRST RUN OF THIS FIGURE. ON THE LEFT SIDE YOU CAN SEE THE SABER WAY DOWN BEHIND THE INSERT.ONLY THE HILT AND A TINY PORTION OF THE SABER ARE SHOWING.SUBSEQUENT RUNS OF THIS FIGURE HAVE THE ENTIRE SABER ABOVE THE INSERT. I DON'T HAVE A COMPARISON PICTURE BUT THERE ARE PLENTY ON EBAY. NO, IT MAY NOT BE THE TRADITIONAL ERROR YOU SEE. MISSING GUN/SABER; WRONG CARD; MISSING PAINT. BUT IN A WAY IT IS. THE SABER WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO FULLY BE SHOWING BUT DURING PRODUCTION THEY CORRECTED IT. HOWEVER VERY FEW CAME OUT WITH THE HIDDEN SABER. SOMETIMES THINGS NEVER GET CORRECTED LIKE THE FREEZE FRAME CAPTAIN PIETT. STICKER SHOULD SAY BATON AND PISTOL NOT BLASTER RIFLE AND PISTOL. SINCE ALL SAY THE SAME THING THERE IS NO VALUE THERE. EVEN SOME THINGS THAT GET CORRECTED GET CORRECTED SO LATE INTO PRODUCTION MOST PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE THE FIGURE AND DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CHANGE. LIKE WITH THE COLOR OF THE POUCH ON CAPTAIN PHASMA. THE BUBBLE IS CLEAR. NO YELLOWING. NO CRACKS. NO DENTS.THE CARD HAS SOME EXPECTED SHELF WEAR ON THE EDGES BUT AS YOU SEE NOTHING HORRIBLE. NO BENDS OR CREASES. THE ONLY THING TO POINT OUT IS A SMALL DEFECT ON THE CARD FACE. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT ALREADY IT HAS TO BE SMALL. LOOK AT THE "R" IN "STAR". THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PLACES THAT LOOK LIKE COLOR LOSS. IF YOU ANGLE IT IN THE LIGHT, YOU CAN SEE A SMUDGE. WHAT I BELIEVE IS THAT SOMEONE TRIED TO REMOVE A STICKER. THE SMUDGE WOULD BE LEFTOVER FROM TRYING TO REMOVE THE GLUE FROM THE CARD. THE PAINT LOSS SPOTS ARE, I BELIEVE, THE EDGE OF A RAZOR BLADE TO GET UNDER THE STICKER. THE RAZOR SEEMS TO HAVE MADE A DENT IN THE CARD. I HAVE DONE THIS KIND OF THING MANY TIMES BUT I DIDN'T DO THIS ONE. MOST I DID CAME OUT FINE. A FEW WERE REALLY BAD. TRIAL AND ERROR. THE WHITE SPOT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE "R" IS PART OF THE CARD GRAPHICS.IF NOT FOR THIS I WOULD BE SELLING IT AT $150. ANYWAY, THERE IS/WAS ONE OTHER LISTED FOR TWICE WHAT I'M ASKING. THE CARD AND BUBBLE ARE PROBABLY ABOUT THE SAME BUT NOT THE SMUDGE AND STUFF. I HAVE HAD THIS FIGURE AND UPGRADED WHEN I COULD. MANY COLLECTORS DO THAT. VERY COMMON. SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T FIND BETTER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE BUT IT'S RARE ENOUGH NOT TO FEEL SAD. WHAT DEFECTS MIGHT YOU ACCEPT IF YOU WERE OFFERED TO BUY A DOUBLE TELESCOPING ON IT'S ORIGINALLY SEALED CARD? NO, OF COURSE THIS IS NO WAY COMPARED TO A DT BUT IT'S THE IDEA THAT IF YOU WANT A PARTICULAR FIGURE VERSION, YOU MAY OVERLOOK SOMETHING TO OWN IT! THE THINGS POINTED OUT ABOUT THIS CARD ARE MINIMAL. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING AND IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE THE HIDDEN SABER HAS COME UP FOR SALE. I'D BET YOU CAN THINK OF ONE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. THERE IS A STAR CASE AND I PROMISE I WILL PACK IT NICELY. MY FEEDBACKS ARE 100%! GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR LOOKING!
