Attractive Series 2 yellow Bumblebee in robot form.  This is the desirable and difficult to find “patch” variant.   The yellow “Free Inside!” patch in the top corner provides a perfect color match to the yellow character artwork on the card as well as to the yellow Bumblebee robot.  Beautiful piece!  The front of the card exbibits strong color with blemishes only found under close observation.   Above the last R in the FORMERS portion of the logo, there appears to be an outline of where a price tag sticker was once found.  There are also two diagonal impressions that match to the creasing on the back of the card as well as a very minor rabbit ear in the upper yellow corner.  Again, most of the front-card blemishes are only visible under careful observation.   The back of the card exhibits several creases as shown in the accompanying photos but is otherwise very clean.  The bubble is exceptional, crystal clear and retains perfect form, showcasing the beautiful yellow robot within.  An awesome example of the Bubblebee patch variant that will surely be a hit with veteran G1 collectors.  Encapsulated by AFA (80, 80-85-85), #13235265
