    Should U grades be banned!

    What if it was a rare figure on card and the bubble was starting to peel off and was trashed full of holes and badly cracked? However the card itself was in semi reasonable state? Would you A) allow the figure come away naturally from the card over time B) support the bubble in some sort of...

    Should U grades be banned!

    Even that one has me confused. I have been buying and selling U90's for the last 2-3 years but even I agree that one is utter madness........I wouldn't expect any more than £45 for that. The last one sold last week £32.50 BIN.

    VC Jawa going cheap...yeah right :)

    The problem is I found that only 10-20% of figures you submit will get the 90 grade, making it hard to get a set together. I bought most of mine graded when prices were cheap but now most have skyrocketed. If anyone asked me, I would say put a set of u85's together if you wanted loose...

    VC Jawa going cheap...yeah right :)

    Jim how many where you short of a complete collection of U90 Ron, I had about 90 with some variations at one time. I understand people not liking the U grade much but there is something about owning a figure that no one has played with before.......maybe its just sad but for me it was all...

    VC Jawa going cheap...yeah right :)

    I agree it has a big effect on people wanting to put a beater set together but there are loads of AFA loose collectors out there now and they all want the U90 graded ones. I did own an almost complete set of U90's but let them go when I started gettin serious offers. I guess they would rather...

    Hi Del, I actually bought it already graded and never saw the card. I do know the card and bubble sold separately for $150 though (someone wanting the rare original bubble).

    The carded vc jawa is a hard figure to beat. If I had to sell my collection, it would the one piece i would hold onto. Always been my favourite.........its a piece of art!

    VC Jawa going cheap...yeah right :)

    One thing I have noticed recently is that rarer (or higher grade) star wars stuff has gone up a notch in terms of prices......Brians toys recently sold an afa 85 DT carded luke for around $10000 (you could have bought it last year for $5000-6000), the harder to find u90's go for crazy money, i...

    VC Jawa going cheap...yeah right :)

    I would do the same as you Ron with the carded jawa. Regarding the loose vc jawa, the hard to find u90's do make big money. The last U90 vc sold for a similar price to what I'm asking. There are alot of dedicated u90 loose collectors out there........

    Rare figures when you were a kid

    Yep, outside Belfast. Opening those sealed cases was half the fun of collecting and was the only way to get the decent figures. Once any of the good figures were on display they went like hotcakes. I also knew when certain shops got new deliveries and use to ring on that particular morning and...

    Rare figures when you were a kid

    My hard to find figure prior to the release of the last 17 was the jawa.....it was the last one I needed to complete the set. I use to go into shops, check the displays, and also ask to open the sealed cases of figures that they had stored in the back. I did this for ages in a lot of shops until...
