31 Back Bossk

[lejackal]

Hi, so I've learned this is a harder moc to come by but what sort of price would be fair with a crushed and cracked bubble?

Any advice would be great.

Cheers

Any pics?

The US Kenner 31 back is very tough, but I have a Canadian 31 back. Still desirable, but apparently more common. Not sure how desirable it would be if it were a Palitoy.

Fire some pics up , the 31 back is a tough cardback . However the damage of the bubble will affect the value .

It was this one but I didn't bother in the end because of the postage and a change in priorities.

Seems the answer was $103

Keep in mind it was an AFA 30

Also, that was Zach Tann selling it. I'm not as surprised at an AFA30 going over $100 as I am Zach not tossing it onto Facebook for $600 or more.

I knew what grade it was, that's why I was hopeful the price would stay low but by the time the postage is taken into account it just wasn't worth it.

I take it your not a fan of the guy then?

He's a nice enough guy. I had to go through him to re-obtain my Canadian 12 back GDE DS Commander in the early summer, so he's also a top notch seller, as he packs quickly and well, and stays in touch throughout the delivery process.

What I don't like is his habitual flipping of items, and anything that doesn't present as an AFA80 or better, he unloads at still high prices but with all kinds of demeaning things to say about the condition. Something that looks beautiful, but has that tiny crack that drops it to an AFA70, for example, becomes "pure trash" in his eyes. No respect for the item - only the value it holds.

That was a good price.

I had a bid on this, in fact it sold for only a few dollars more than my maximum bid, gutted I missd out on it, but as said before I think that it was still a good price for a hard to find item

Well I paid $270 for an AFA 70 31 Kenner Bossk in late 2007. I had been looking for one for around 5 years :!: Just kept seeing 32 backs :!:
A real nice example today would prob command in the high hundreds of dollars and it wouldn't surprise me if a top US dealer would ask over $1000 :!:

Ha :!: I had more trouble finding my Kenner 31 when I was after Kenner than my Palitoy 30 back (which is in a diff league of rarity as someone asked earlier).

In 2009 I sold an AFA 85 31 back Bossk for $1200. Unpunched, crystal clear bubble and no price stickers.

Final frontier toys had one this year with an overall grade of 85 and two subs of 90. I think it was around 2500 I nearly pulled the trigger but delayed and missed the boat. Totally regret it now but nevermind.

Sounds like I should've had a punt on this one then. Never mind, live and learn.
