| Empire Strikes Back 41-Back Rebel Commander Carded Quality Control Sample | |
| The ESB 41-Back Rebel Commander (designated as an ESB41A using the SWCA nomenclature) shown above is referred to as a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) sample. Carded QC figures are utilized for approval to determine if the final product meets specific criteria in terms of packaging quality, etc. The card front contains the date of inspection and the intials of the Kenner quality control engineer who reviewed this piece. No sign-off information resides on the back of the card. QA/QC labels are sometimes affixed to the front or rear of the card. Signatures and/or information may be written on items ranging from specifically formatted labels, formatted index cards, simple nondescript labels like the one found on this one, or directly on the card, like the ESB 31-back Hoth Stormtrooper carded QC sample seen here. |
