Gorgeous MISB Series 1 Sideswipe from 1984.  There is no rubsign sticker visible and we have the ™ (instead of ®) next to the TRANSFORMERS logo confirming an early release.  The box looks sensational with the only blemish being on the back bottom corner – very minor!  Otherwise, outstanding.  Each end is firmly factory tape sealed and there is no colorbreak whatsoever along the edges.  The reverse is immaculate, completely free from the dreaded flap crease we find on so many examples.  The window and the bubble securing the red car are crystal clear.  This Sideswipe presents case fresh, and as such, we expect bidding activity to be fast and furious.  Encapsulated by AFA (85, 80-85-85), #11732233
