3 3/4" Gi Joe Id Cards Off The Back Of The Card

[theantiquetiger]

I helped a lady price some toys at an estate sale, and as a payment, I took all the literature for the GI Joes and Transformers. I don't expect anyone here to bid, I just think it will be interesting.

Here are the ID cards from the backs of the GI Joes:

Never priced Tech Specs(Transformers) but you should do well with them and the G.I.Joe File Cards.

[theantiquetiger]

Thanks for the name of those things (tech specs), I updated the auction.

i had those gi joes and the cards . they are cool. good luck with teh auction tiger mike

yeah the Gi joe ones are called File cards and they should hit about $1 a piece or a little more,they use to go for as much as $3 a piece for big lots

Oh well, i didn't change the title of the file cards, just the Xformer's tech specs. I didnt pay a cent, so i dont care. $3 a piece would be awesome ($220), but I figured $50 to $75

[toys2cool]

oh don't worry,your's are all from 82-87 they should do really good.those were the best and most popular years of Gi joe,both for the cartoons and figures.Awesome find :grin:

[theantiquetiger]

This is my second 3 3/4" GI Joe find like this. About a year ago, I found an envelope full of about 30 different blueprint instructions from the vehicles. I got it for free as well, and they sold for around $100.

If one of the Cobra Commander is the Silver face plate figures that card can fetch a nice price.


I hope you get a good price for them

Yes, it is the silver face cobra commander. The figure is here as well, but he is in 3 pieces, so is the other cobra commander. There is a figure here for every card I have, but alot have a loose rubber band or is completely in pieces. There is a rottweiler on a leash in this box of figs. Does any one know what figure he came with?

I am not keeping the figures, I am just helping out the lady who is doing the sale. Looks like I will put 3 in a bag and put $10 price tag on it and all the loose body parts in one bag and put $15 on it.

I guess I answered my own question when I realized there is a K-9 handler named Mutt in the box.

yeah he came with Mutt and his name is Junk Yard(the dog),if that Cobra Commander has the Mickey mouse emblem it could sell for $100+ alone

Where would the MM emblem be located and are you talking about the three circle (head ear ear) Mickey mouse silhouette emblem?

[toys2cool]

check it out right here and you can also check any other joe you need

it's not a ture mickey mouse shape it's the first logo Hasbro made for the cobra logo on the chest and it's a bit odd looking compaired to the normal well known emblem. here's a link to all the info you could want about cobra commander http://www.yojoe.com/action/82/cobracommander.shtml

[theantiquetiger]

It is the 1982 mail-in straight arm CC but there is no Mickey Mouse logo, its the 2nd logo. I did find one on ebay with gun and file card that went for $40. As you can see, this one is in three pieces. Thanks for the link, Russ:

if you go down to a local hardware store and buy the right size of little "O" ring rubber washers/seals they use in sinks. you could put most of those figures back together real easy and cheap.

I figured they will be pretty easy to fix, I just didnt know what to fix them with. I did learn the commander is a mail in figure, not the store bought figure because the back of the file card is plain card board, not red and he has 1982 on his butt, not 82-83.

[EmergencyIan]

Well, just an FYI, if the back of the file card is "plain" cardboard or has a red back it's either mail order or one one those figures that was sold out of the Sears or JC Penny catalogs. If it is from a carded figure, the back of the file card will show a portion of the front of the card it was cut off of.

You can often find o-rings on ebay for these JOES, if you don't have luck elsewhere. If I still had some, I'd mail you one, but I'd been out of them for about a year.

#10 O-Ring from Home Depot, $2 for 10 rings. Man, these things are nothing to fix.

This guy had a helluva collection. Every figure is a 1st edition figure. Sad thing is, there are a few body parts missing on some of them, including the 2 Cobra Commanders

[toys2cool]

wow I've never seen a MM cobra commander go for $40,I sold mine for $115

[batmanmc]

i never heard of the mm emblem. i collected these back in the 80's. mike
