New to the forum. For many years I have specialized in collecting only red back file cards and mail away items of ARAH. Recently, I purchased something I don't recall seeing before.....a mail in form for the Canadian Version of 1982 Cobra Commander (the face shield version). The form is very similar to the American release but this is double-sided with one side French, the other side American.
My questions are... Is this form rare or is my memory just off? Second and most importantly, does anyone have a pic of the uncut file card that would have come with this Cobra Commander figure? Again, the form says offer expires 1/31/83 so this mysterious file card would not have been the Canadian Hooded Cobra Commander that is kind of common. |

Welcome. I'm not sure which one it would be, but I think it would be one of these but I can't remember what color the back of the filecard was. It's been so long, I can't remember. Pictures courtesy of Yojoe.com.

Thanks for posting and I saw that on YoJoe as well. Canadian mail away file cards are tan back. I imagine the card that came with this Cobra Commander figure is as well. I just can't recall ever seeing an uncut French Version of the 82 Cobra Commander file card that came without a flag point.

I know this isn't any help, but this is exactly how I got this figure - Canadian mail in! Ah, memories!

Got the answer off a Joe group of Facebook.
This mail in version of the Canadian Cobra Commander came with everything seen below. The file card has a tan back, a French flag and is the same file card that came with the Canadian Sears HQ set. If anyone wants to dish on rare 83 red backs or other uncut Canadian Sears cards from 82-84, shoot me a message. I am always interested in expanding my knowledge. |

Here's a picture of the ones that I have. Unfortunately they have the flagpoints cut aswell, they still display pretty well though. I'm still looking to upgrade that last card in my redback collection, haven't really been looking very hard for it though lately.
