[QUOTE="OTB Records, post: 313222, member: 6162"] I have a strong interest in Tri-logo carded pieces. My user name on Rebelscum is 'TriJunkie'. When I was first being offered Tri-logo carded figures there was very little interest in them among collectors. They were thought of as 'cheap' and 'inferior'. Therefore a nice carded collection could be put together for a reasonable amount of money. Forward to today and the prices have increased dramatically. Obviously the supply of nice carded Tri-logo figures hasn't increased over the years but the demand has - especially with the forthcoming films. This I believe has lead dealers and some collectors to slap high prices on carded Tri-logos. Joe is right in saying that if you are patient the carded Tri-logo figure you want (if not one of the very rare ones: Madine, Jawa, Fett and a few others) will probably come up for sale a number of times over the next 6 to 12 months. However, as with all genres of collecting there will be those who will purchase these pieces for the top price either because they are impatient, rich or uneducated when it comes to their true rarity. As for AFA. Well I am not a fan of them and in many ways I personally believe they are making the market worse for collectors. I praise Joe for putting his head above the parapet and saying what he feels. Without such people saying: "Stop and think" the hobby could just get out of control and be lead by a few big companies telling us the collectors what we should pay. [/QUOTE]
