CAS Revolutionizes Bubble Protection for Vintage Star Wars Figures

CAS is thrilled to announce our revolutionary, patent pending Bubble Preservation Solution (BPS)!  

For almost three decades, collectors of mint on card (MOC) action figures have worried about their MOC's loose figure launching through the MOC's plastic bubble during shipping or otherwise. Existing "bubble protectors" aimed at providing some reinforcement to the plastic bubble offered by multiple grading companies through the use of bent acrylic pieces are somewhat unsightly and never could fully protect the bubble, even if they do provide some protection. CAS's new, revolutionary BPS consists of a thin, clear sheet of plastic that covers the entire surface of a MOC figure, including form fitting the entire surface of the bubble like a glove - that is, the top, bottom, sides and face of the bubble - all of which will, among other things, (i) provide the most protection possible to a MOC's bubble, (ii) prevent the bubble from lifting off the card, (iii) prevent the loose action figure from busting through the bubble, (iv) flatten curved cardbacks, and (v) prevent loose hanger punch tabs from dislodging.  Perhaps even better, the BPS is nearly invisible and, as such, doesn't take away from the MOC like the old bent acrylic bubble protectors do!  You can barely see it! 

For years, many collectors scorned MOC grading because, so the argument went, sealing the figure in acrylic provided no protection to the bubble to prevent the loose figure from eventually busting through in shipping or otherwise.  CAS's BPS has forever changed the game by making MOC grading now the best way to protect your MOC bubble for decades to come!

For only $15 per carded action figure, you can now securely protect your MOC figure's bubble, prevent the bubble from lifting from the card, flatten curved cardbacks, and secure the hanger punch tab from dislodging.  All with the BPS!

BPS will work on any of the first 21 released vintage Star Wars figures on any Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back cardback (currently, not on Return of the Jedi, Power of the Force, Droids, etc. cardbacks).  Ultimately, in the relatively near term, we plan to provide the BPS to fit all vintage Star Wars action figure bubbles on all cardbacks and, a little further down the road, for other figures from other toy lines, and we will certainly keep you apprised of our progress in coming to market with more offerings.

We hope that you all are as excited about the BPS as we are.  We really do see this as a game changer, and something that will help eliminate the disappointment hundreds, if not thousands, of collectors have felt for decades when their carded action figures were destroyed by the loose figure busting through the plastic bubble through shipping or otherwise.
