r308 Tatoo Orbit scans from Legendary....
 
3 Attachment(s)
Thought I'd show some scans from the Legendary r308 lot. It's been a fun lot to sort through so far and I figure there's probably quite a few cards a lot of people haven't seen yet so hope you all enjoy these.

There are a few things in particular I like about the group.

- Many of the cards are nicer than I anticipated. There are definitely some rougher ones, but many have pretty sharp photos too.

- The yellow Tatoo Orbit wrapper wasn't pictured in the auction scan so this was a pleasant surprise.

- Interesting note - the "underdeveloped" cards that were mentioned in the auction are actually cards that were NEVER developed - meaning they still have the original backs attached to them. I'd have to think that complete r308s with their backs still attached are not the easiest thing to find. I included a scan of those three cards below the two wrappers.

Thanks guys, enjoy!

Great pick up. If I was the consignor I would definitely be upset with how Legendary presented the lot. The lot certainly would have went for more if scans were included of all the cards. Some of those have very strong images and the undeveloped cards are great items.

Those look nice. I'm not veryfamiliar with the set. Are the extra small ones made that way or cut down?

Nice!!!!! This set has grown on me since I first saw it mentioned on this board. Kind of an acquired taste....:)

Steve - I believe those are cards that have been trimmed..it's kind of hard to tell though because the edges are smooth either way.

David - I agree with you. I think they probably could have shown scans of more of the cards instead of just the few. Also, some items were not described very well. When I read "underdeveloped" I thought that was referencing cards that had been developed but were really really faded. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the cards were completely intact with their original backing.

Also, the yellow Tattoo Orbit wrapper, arguably the neatest item in the whole lot was not mentioned at all. It's a very bright, attractive yellow wrapper that mentions the company. Definitely stands out in this lot and is a neat collector piece all by itself.

Not that I'm complaining mind you...I'm very happy with my purchase from Legendary :)

I wonder if the undeveloped cards can still be developed.
