Hey everyone Im new to the tmnt world. been a fan for a long time but just getting into collecting.
Theres a 1990 triceraton MOC on ebay. But the card is a shredder card. Did this mistake really happen or is it a bootleg.

And whats a fair value for something like that if it is authentic.
Thanks!

it is 100% authentic. Things like that happens all the time. I've seem upside down figures and figures without weapons in MOC condition and stuff like that... .more wierd stuff.

Its value is in ur heart, my friend.

Whoever think it is worth 40 bucks and willin to pay for it, then it is worth 40 bucks to that specific individual.

I don't think it is a "mistake" necessarily; that's a foreign release.

Yeah, I've sent that merchant that correction and she never even replied. Then again I think I pissed her off when I accused her of cheating me once. Serves her right, though.

[st.evans]

Hey guys thanks for the info. I have found a ton of useful info and pics on here and it has really helped me figure out what a good deal is on figures and the history on all the figures too.

Still out there looking for a cheap Scratch MOC though

Here are some really rare reissue versions. These are circa 1993/1994, right before the Collector Cards were introduced. Look closely and you will see these are not the 1995 reisues that were only sold in Wal-Mart. The notable differences between these figures is that their packaging still has a punch-tab, and they have the white text warning label on the top left corner. The 1995 Wal-Mart reissues have the blue box warning label on the top left corner, and have the hook-style hanging tab as opposed to the old-fashioned punh tab.

Here is one lot with Robotic Bebop, April O'Neil, Rat King, Krang, Casey Jones, Baxter Stockman and Mondo Gecko all without Collector Cards, and Tokka with a Collector Card.

Here is another lot by the same seller with Super Mike and Super Don. These are the first reissue versions for both of these. Notice how they retain the starburst label that advertises their spring-loaded punching feature.

This user all has some other mixed lots for sale containing 1994 Collector Card reissues.

They're cool, but to say they are rare is stretching it a bit.

I don't see these show up on ebay all that often except for April O'Neil and Rat King. I certainly would say these packaging variants aren't as common as the others that came out around that time.

Know of any others that were reissued in this packging before the collector cards were introduced? I am trying to come up with a definitive list of reissues, and these that were among the last before the collector cards came out seem to be the hardest to track down photographic evidence of their existence.

For the most part, I have seen pictures of all the Blue Card reissues from various sources on the Internet, and I have determined the original Mondo Gecko was not reissued during that time. Its first reissue is the version shown in that acution I linked to in my previous post.

I've also determined that Space Usagi and Panda Khan never were reissued.

This guy is selling an all rubber raph MOC along with some softheads and a sweet cell.
In the pic the raph does look a different texture and shade than normal.
http://cgi.ebay.com/tmnt-DON-RUBBER-...item439f8afff8
Does anyone know if that is a fair price for them or what the value of raph is?

There is no such thing as ALL rubber. Just the heads. What you're seeing is plastic with odd color/texture. It's a scam. If you buy that you're nuts.

We all know OF him. He simply buys low and sells high. Not sure where his sources outside ebay are.
