I have collected this "Holy Grail" as I like to call it. Maybe isn't super rare but I have taken the pain in the butt factor by assembling them.
I have amassed a pretty much complete filecard album. I have put the cards in protective plastic sleeves and into a hard hinged binder. All the old cards are cut properly along the lines. I even got convention cards like the crimson baroness, twins, cobra mortal and a few others. Got all the '97 tru cards. Even from the tru cobra command 3 packs from '97. Also the Stars and Stripes set. Got the Payload and Keel Haul cards. Many are uncut if they were from vehicles or from mail ins. I thought of ebaying but I will have to take a ton of pix and make a list of all the cards. It will take some time. There are hundreds of cards. Duke, Flint, Snakes Eyes (all versions) so many it is crazy. This for me is what contains the lore of the entire Joe Verse. Some go by the comics, some by the cartoon. None by the movie. However, I go by the file cards. (Comics a close second!) Does anyone know what this could pull in? Throw some numbers at me. I will try to post some pix. It is a monster album of cards. Thanks for your time.

yes, it is the file cards off the back of the cards, vehicles, and stuff like that. It is a behemoth collection.
I just thought of posting it on ebay and seeing what happens. You never know, it could wind up being like the guy in 40 year virgin! I could use the money!

How many file cards are actually in the album? That and which rare ones would be the determining factor. File cards don't seem to get much on evil bay but having a complete album with rare ones can be a major player.

I would say get an exact count, figure $1 per card then add $1 for each vintage card (pre 89) and $1 for each exclusive or very HTF figure. See what your total amount comes out to and if it seems too high, reduce it by 15%.
