Here's a photo I recently took...not carded figures, but loosely on topic
These are my "childhood 12" (+1). I have others of these characters in better shape, with their original weapons etc, but these 12 (except the small head Han) were purchased during my childhood and have seen a lot of action.

Plus, it's an ESB character on an ESB card, which raises it's value to me.
Ideally, I prefer to get carded figs without price stickers, but it is always interesting to see what they originally went for ($2.44 at Walmart, in the US, in this case).
There are a couple of figures that I am after at some point in the future (e.g., R5-D4, IG-88, FX-7, Ugnaught, Dengar, Chief Chirpa, and Ackbar, all on their cards-of-first-release), although to be honest, just at the moment, all my pocket money is going in to savings to be spent at Celebration Anaheim.
This is my latest addition, a birthday present from Kristy.
2-1B is one of my favourite characters (along with FX-7), being of the medical profession. This card bears a price sticker that, either coincidentally or through the work of a store worker who was a Star Wars fan, pretty much spells out the character name 2-1B!
