Highly sought-after Canadian square bubble Jawa variant on 12 Back-A card.  Card received a 75 subgrade due to a pronounced bow at the center.  We have provided photos from the bottom of the card to show this.  This issue could likely be completely resolved with the addition of a CAS bubble protector similar to the LJN WWF “black card” pieces in this auction (or a simple “pressing” of the card). The card is otherwise great, with perfect color and no other veins or creases on the front.  The reverse exhibits a single horizonal vein at mid point – very minor.  No edge wear or price tag residue on this one.  The ever-important square bubble is crystal clear (tray is clear as well) and retains perfect form showcasing the "Cloth Cloak" Jawa. His weapon remains attached by the factory tape!  The only issue we found was at the bubble’s stem and this may very well be factory as opposed to denting from handling. A rare opportunity to grab a scarce variant that is not seen often in 12 Back-A form. Encapsulated by AFA (75, 75-75-85), #11396112
