Hello,
I just purchased a 1984 storm shadow moc, off of eBay Being new to joe collecting, are there some features I can keep an eye out for to ensure I bought an authentic 1984 and not a re-card? I am also considering getting it graded, which would catch a fake(I’m assuming) Thanks in advance |

Bump with pics
Any ways to spot an original vs a re-card? |

This is a recard. Version 1 Storm shadow never came with a 3-d GI Joe logo, that started late ‘85-‘86.
Which the date would have reflected that on the card back on the bottom, where your figure reads 1983. If you spent anymore than $80 on this then you were got.

Yojoe.com shows a 36 card back with that logo.

If it were a repro, it's a very good one. This is a 1986 version and the logo reflects that too.
The Slaughter promo on the bottom replaces where the swivel arm battle grip goes. Any figure with a promotional offer replaces the 'Swivel Arm Battle Grip' note with the promo instead.

With correct dates.... 1983,1985.
This one clearly reads 1 date: 1983.

An actual 1986 released figure shows 1983, 1985 on the cardback.

Agreed. It's really hard to spot sometimes. I know some people put REPRODUCTION right on the card but not everyone has such good morals.
