I bought shipwreck frome someone and he get this from the auction (maybe EBAY) for around $160 from Brian's toy seller last year
This one looks pretty good but too cheap for the genuine and there are no price stickers and unpunched state are suspicious this could be repro one I get some informations about brian's toy and at the facebook page, there are so many bad feedbacks about them for re-selling reproduction starwars weapons. 1. Is this repro? or genuine? 2. The top side word character "G I Joe" are not 3-dimensional and I am confusing are there 2 types of G I Joe font types 2D or 3D. 3. can we trust AFA grading? The grading sticker could be fake or AFA grading repros ? can I search the serial numbers from the AFA homepage? I cannot find the menu from the AFA website I wanna check this AFA grading is genuine or not |

I can't say whether it's legit or not, but Yojoe.com shows the card art is exactly right, even the 2D GI Joe...

The 2D logo started in 1986. So only Shipwrecks produced on a 1986 card had 3D logo and cross sell for 1986 figures on the back.

Judging from what I’ve seen of the most popular Repro Producers (I’ve carded over 100 vintage Joes) my opinion is that this looks legit. It’s hard to be 100% sure just looking at photos but that is what I’m thinking.

it looks like you can see the tiny waffle pattern of the glue under the edges of the bubble, that's a good sign it's legit.

Looking the 2nd pic i can say is 100% genuine. The sign of old glue is evident and almost impossible to reproduce. 160 bucks for Afa Shipwreck version 1 is a big deal!

It does look legit. Even the tray for accessories looks right. I see a lot of repros that use generic bubbles.
