    The 1977 Mego Green Arrow A Card

    An interesting new addition to the Megomuseum Galleries is this 1977 A carded Green Arrow, he most notable feature of these figures is the butterfly punch and the thinner plastic bubble.



    While both backers are non glossy on these versions, what's unique about the card on the left unique about the card on the right is it's purple backer, proving to many that there was an Aquaman in this A card series as well..

      Somehow for me, the purple on the back makes it better.

          I heard about this card. Very cool to see! That means there's a butterfly Aquaman out there somewhere...

            So the one card has a different color back? Are there other examples of cards with a different color back. I had no idea this existed.

              Yeah, it's a press error. I don't know that I've heard of it happening on other cards...?

                Wow, it's hard to believe there could possibly be WGSH packaging variations NOT mentioned in Ben's exhaustive book. At least, I don't think it was. This place is just awesome.

                  Chris,
                  I think this card confirms confirms the speculation that it existed.

                  Congrats to the happy owner!

                    I bet there are more with the butterfly tab out there.

                      There's just something about a carded GA that makes it the coolest carded figure of the US releases.

                          hello all...
                          it is indeed, a great piece....what is funny is that it was offered both to me, and the current owner....I actually paid for it, but then was refunded my money and it went to the current owner via a 3rd party...I am a wee bit jealous, but happy for the new owner at the same time!
