POP 5 – According to the AFA Population Report, this is one of only five AFA 85 examples. None are graded higher. There is a total AFA graded population of 12.

Ultra high-grade early release 8-back Merman paired with the The Vengeance of Skeletor mini comic. Impossibly difficult to find in elite AFA 85 grade, this beautiful example is sure to grab the attention of high-grade MOTU collectors. The front of the card is impeccable, completely free of creases, veins, and edgewear. Imperfections are few and all are considered minor. Back of the card, depicting the 8 original MOTU characters, is as good as we’ve ever seen – pristine! Clean bubble retains perfect form but does exhibit a light tint (we must note that it would receive a "y" designation if submitted for grading today) – see photos. The Merman action figure with green belt stands perfectly upright with weapon ideally positioned behind his legs. An awesome early release villain in a stellar grade, the best example we have offered in our auctions.
