Description

G.I. Joe Rampart 34-Back with Combat Pay AFA 80 ** Only Graded Example ** (Hasbro, 1990). Rampart brought video-arcade reaction speed to live-fire defense, applying fast spatial judgment and split-second timing to the Navy's air-defense artillery ranks. Released as part of Series 9 in 1990, this example is presented on a 34-Back card with Combat Pay, the 1990 promotion in which specially marked packages included G.I. Joe currency redeemable through the Get Tough Catalog. Graded AFA 80 NM with subgrades of C75 B80 F85, this example stands as the only graded example on the population report. For Rampart, every incoming missile is just another target moving too fast for the average player. Insert Combat Pay to continue.
