THE “CHADS” (aka Punched Tabs): THE COLLECTOR’S FRIEND OR ENEMY?

You might have seen those lying on the floor under the action figures at your local toy hunting spot, and did not think much of it. But the Chads (punched tabs or punch tabs) are more important to some of you would think!

In the Toy collector lingo, if you get an action figure with its blister card “unpunched”, it means the figure still has that tiny cardboard piece where there should be a hole at the top (some call it the blister card “hymen”). A figure that is “unpunched” means that the “Chad” (or tab) is still present on the blister card, meaning it hasn’t even been displayed in a store and is therefore, in pristine condition. Unpunched cards usually have a higher value, and some MOC collectors prefer to have all their cards “unpunched”.

ToyFarce investigated a bit, and found out that there is an even deeper aspect to the “chads”, with some collectors, who call themselves “Chad-chasers”, actually collect ONLY the tabs!

“No need for the action figures, if you can get the chads!”

See this listing on ebay:

Collector Corey Y. had shown us how he displays his chad collection, and was asking other Chad-afficionados if he should use plexiglass or acrylic to frame his coveted collection:

Here is a collector, checking his latest finds on the ICDb, the Internet Chad Data Base, to see if any of the Chads he found have a high value:

We have even found this brilliant idea for a new product: the Ultimate Meta-Chad ! (Of course, real Chad-fanatics would prefer a version that is unpunched…)

For more Chad content, make sure to join the Facebook group: “Marvel Legends Retro 3.75 Collectors”, where the Chad-movement is going very strong!

How about you? Are you a Chad-chaser? Let us know in the comments!
