This might just be the cheapest way around to get an '82 Snake Eyes...but I have never seen silver shoulder pins before??? Anyways, it's cheap:

Yeah but it's a re-seal. I can understand MOC collecting to an exstent, but I don't believe a re-sealed card is anything more than a loose figure with the full cardback. As for the shoulder pins, that makes it even more skeptical. Perhaps the paint wore off of the rivets, or maybe they're all new rivets (Paint chipping is probably more logical)

It looks like even the elbow rivets are silver too. I'm leaning in the direction that these are new rivets cause otherwise that would mean a lot of paint wear and chipping especially since the rest of the figure looks pretty good. Just my opinion though.

Well for someone like myself who can't afford the $1000-1200 price tag on a nice sealed one, I have to seriously look at these reseals as one of the only ways I can purchase vintage Joes on card.

I have to agree with you, and you could always paint over the silver rivets or even use a sharpie on them. Even if I could afford to pay a grand or more not sure I could lay out that much cash for a figure, unless maybe I was some kind of Donald Trump rich or something, then I would just buy Hasbro and make my own. lol

Nice! Too true...

i thinks its a great figure. if it was BIN for $50 i would snag it. I saw a guy on here a couple days ago that found an auction for a MOC version of the figure that was labeled wrong and the person didnt know what they had, it went for $69 BIN i think HOLY CRAP!
