I’m curios to see just how well these are done. Curiosity finally got the better of me and I purchased the kit for 13$. That’s the only difference, a small hard to read “Reproduction Packaging” disclaimer. See it? Right underneath the “Made & Printed in Hong Kong” print. Can you spot any differences? yeah I can’t either. Picture 1 is the repro card that I purchased and Picture 2 is the original vintage card. ![]() Just how convincing are these card kits? Take a look: Third, carded vintage figures run into the hundreds of dollars and obviously having a complete vintage carded collection is unrealistic unless I were to win the lotto and since that isn’t going to happen, these are a cheap alternative. Will these look awesome? exactly how identical are they? Second, I LOVE GI Joe card art and having a chance to own an untarnished pristine card is an opportunity I can’t pass up. So the question then becomes “why do I want these?” A couple of reasons, the first being sheer curiosity. I’ve been VERY tempted from the very beginning to get this kit but before we go any further, let say this – I DO NOT intend to sell my Joes. The card looks so good that you’d have to be an authority to tell the difference. ![]() The kit includes a brand new, un-punched card, and a bubble to put the figure in and then attach to the card.
