Opinions on this Lili Ledy Darth Vader MOC with issues

[Paul Armory]

Guys I do appreciate you opinions on this. What would you think it's worth? I have a feeling this unique has changed hands a few times already. Autograph, missing top of bubble and the obvious card condition. I'd like to add it but I'm iffy on the asking price at present :roll:
Thanks in advance!

can the figure be removed? If so I'd say $600-750

Wow..probably true...but with cut bubble...creases and all that damn scribble on it...I was thinking $200 tops...but then again...Ledy is not my bag.

And here I was thinking I was low because of the autograph... Ledys can be all over the place though, especially when it comes to bubble issues like that

Someone thought it was worth this much back in November

 

[tundra9]

Wow, I was that much off?
I'll just keep my mouth shut with the next Ledy valuatuation... :mrgreen:

Value wise, there have been 2 card backs sold recently on ebay. One was relisted as the seller is plagued by dodgy(?) bidders on a few of his most recent auctions.

The next one in my opinion is better condition....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Vintage-Lili-Ledy-Darth-Vader-30-Back-Cardback-Rare-Variant-/301394450483?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item462c825833&nma=true&si=icdzU8RdGlAqj2NyFDDfZYq%252B174%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

So a card value of $112 - $180. Yours has a partial bubble but the signature spoils the card for most collectors.

Figure wise these vary from $30-$50 and on a good day can hit $75-$80

So TFB's $200 imo is a pretty good valuation.

Just wondering though, would lighter fluid remove the autograph :wink: :lol:

Gasoline and a scrubby pad.

That autograph....... :shock:

I was thinking the same Grant. Why on earth would you autograph such a piece?! :?

 

[aussiejames]

. One was relisted as the seller is plagued by dodgy(?) bidders on a few of his most recent auctions.

The seller has had suspicious 'shill' bidding occurring for well over 6 months , at least two 'buyers' p***s (162) & _ ***y (10) have bid up at least a dozen items, won & not paid and have never been blocked/banned. No feedback left other than positive feedback from _***y (10) for items that were relisted. Jose chooses to do nothing about it.......

these were advertised at $350 each.

I don't think Dave Prowse gives a **** as long as he gets his autography fee :lol:

Thanks for the clarification AJ, I know your one of the people affected by this suspicious activity.

 

[Paul Armory]

Ya that autograph is a shame. not my cup of tea for sure! It does make me wonder though if it was done after the card was put through Hell? Someone may have just said screw it? Not holding my breath on that question and no knowing until the named person "Martin" can be asked I suppose.

 

[PGowdy]

Surely the autograph devalues this massively. Has to. :?

Oh ya that's right James we were discussing that recently about the shill bidding with Jose's sales and look who the winner was. When that auction, from Nov., was posted I didn't look at the seller let alone the bidders :roll:
