Advice please carded problem

[mash]

Having bought 3 or 4 Imp dignitary all having a small chip on their nose I decided to get a carded one cheap and remove the figure but now im not so sure what to do with it.

Do I remove figure put him in the collection and sell the other one and the coin and card?

or sell the carded one and look for a mint loose?

or keep them all??

Help me please! cheers

The card looks pretty crummy and you do get the fun and excitement of opening a figure for the first time in years!

DO IT!

 

[edd_jedi]

it doesn't look particularly worth keeping on the card to me, i guess it depends how much you paid for it?

 

[Bollux]

Dont know about selling the coin either! I am sure that the Dignitary coin will be pretty common...

 

[roundster]

I agree with Edd, depends what you paid for it!
Would be fun to open it

 

[Bollux]

it would be fun wouldnt it?

just like the good old days!

i think that's the yellowest bubble i've ever seen :lol:

I'd love to see what AFA would say about that if you were to submit it for grading! After they'd picked themselves up off the floor and stopped laughing, of course!

I reckon we could be lookin at the first ever AFA 100, what do you think?
:wink:

I think it does depend on how much you paid for it, how much you want an imperial dignitary, and how much a mint loose one might cost.

I have a similar problem - I bought this Vader to send to AFA for a U grade, but part of me now does not want to destroy the original packaging even though it is damaged:-



if you do decide to do this AFA now grade coins as well (which will probably raise their price even more): -




- I agree with the other posts though - it will be far more fun to open it yourself!

I have these Tri-logos that a friend gave me years ago out of the store in his dad's Toy shop.

The cards and bubbles are pretty beat but I could never open them :wink:

Are those Stormtroopers still minty white?

Again like others have said it depends how much you paid for the carded one.

If it was under £30 I would carefully remove the figure and list the "damaged" figure along with the card (with coin still attached).

Yes mate, they are imaculate white

 

[edd_jedi]

I paid £22 for the carded figure + postage of £4 thought it was a good buy really

I do need the figure for my loose collection (I only need 5 more now for a full set)

A mint figure normally gets £20 ish, what do you think????

I quite like the idea of opening it and selling the card/coin with the other figure with the chipped nose.

I think you are probably right mate maybe I will sleep on it and make my mind up in the morning............

[sith-smith]

enjoy. When was the last time you opened a vintage figure?

 

[mash]

I think it was probably early 80's ROTJ figures never owned any of the last 17 except Paploo.

****.... 20 odd years ago!! How about yourself?????
