Hello all,
I have been the lucky recipient of landing most of these 12 backs over the last 6 or 7 years. It was a case of the right place at the right time. I have always paid good money for everyone I bought off him and can sleep in my bed knowing I paid far more than a dealer would pay but bought in bulk so you have to be realistic. I was offered a chance to buy the latest lot but fell short. I offered not far off £3000 for them and always offered fast easy transactions.
I bought them as a collector and swapped and sold the spares. Sadly I couldn't afford to keep the collection going so sold them on a few years ago, they were sold within the community so you all may have examples sitting in your collection. The star piece was a Palitoy boxed deathstar shop stock, which I regretted selling, Matt Lake has it in his collection now.
Over the years I have had multiples of all the 12 backs (and Luke X-Wings) apart from the Chewie for some reason!
He has informed me that he was offered £4000 so I was pretty shocked that someone would offer that kind of money and disappointed I didn't get them. All the items are genuine and I think he was correct to sell now as the cards were becoming more and more warped in the loft.
I have had quite a few major finds over the years and this was one of the best but not the best! Gary will testify to that!
Cheers
Andy
