POP 1 - This is sole AFA 85+ example found in AFA’s population report, none are graded higher or equivalent. There are a total of only 4 AFA graded examples inclusive of all grades.

 

Ultra-high grade FIRST RELEASE example of Jake “The Snake” Roberts on 22-Back card released by LJN in 1987. Simply put, this is the finest condition WWF LJN figure we’ve ever handled – EXCEPTIONAL! Jake was one of the most popular wrestlers of his generation, a WWE Hall of Famer, who is still very popular today. In 1987, when this action figure debuted, Jake was near the height of his fame facing the Honky Tonk Man in Wreslemania 3 with musician Alice Cooper in his corner, and over 93,000 in the crowd looking on.

Card, bubble, and figure are absolutely sensational. LJN WWF figures are considered extremely condition sensitive, so to find such an impeccable example is shocking. It’s crystal-clear bubble (90 subgrade!) is the icing on the sundae. This is a piece that deserves serious consideration amongst high-end collectors.  Encapsulated by AFA (85+, 85-90-85), #16699186
