Uncut POTF Proof Sheet
Several uncut sheets of Power of the Force proof cards have surfaced over the years, most of them including at least one card that was never officially released with a figure attached to it. This particular sheet, which is indentical to the one shown here, includes 4 unreleased cards: Walrus Man, Power Droid, FX-7, and Princess Leia in Boussh Disguise. Although the majority of the sheets that have entered collecting circles bear 4 cards, these actually appear to have been cut down from larger 8 card sheets at some point in their early history. You can sort of see where this one has been cut down on its right side.

Although its not one of the more attractive vintage blister cards, its kind of interesting to see the Walrus Man card in its POTF incarnation.

Gonk! I really love both the Power Droid figure and its card back image. This is also a nice inclusion as, along with Walrus Man, its the second example of a first series figure of this sheet.

The FX-7 card is probably one of the most infamous of the unproduced POTF proofs. This figure has been rumored to have actually been released on the POTF card for years, but nothing beyond pre-production product samples has surfaced.

One of the nice things about this particular sheet is that it contains at least one card from each of the film series. Leia in Boussh Disguise represents the Return of the Jedi line, and its a cool character to boot.
