Run out of funds, so need to raise some to pursue my focuses. The 2 12 backs have been upgraded from, so they can go, and the rest have just been freshly graded. I'm keeping some, and the others here I have already got other versions of. I'm not sure how much interest these will get - if they all sell fast, or just some scattered, but I'll do my best to post ASAP. I obviously haven't pre-packaged them in case you buy more than 1.

PM me your interest. First come first served.

You cover the 3% Paypal fee, I'll cover postage. You can of course send the Payment as a gift to avoid the 3% fee, but you do that at your own risk as it's there for your protection.

Lovely piece, with a couple of slight veins meaning it just missed an 80. I now have a Palitoy version

The bubble crush at the bottom is the cause of the overall 60. I now have an 80 grade

This is NOT a Toy Toni. Those were ROTJ cards. The AFA now know what to look for (finally), and this is authentic. I looked through eBay sales over the last 2 years and have only seen 1 of these sold.

Again, thie is NOT a Toy Toni. This figure on any back is not on the fake list at all. AFA have confirmed this.

In the word of 3PO "Oh my!"

That R2 was a bargain and a really nice one at that. Stupid, stupid work distracting me!

Interesting. The last 80 grade I saw go on eBay went for $350 (and that was the only one in the last several months), so I based the price on that. Will be interesting to see if similar pricing I used for the other figures gets some of the same reaction.
 
Nah, I think the R2 was fair. It seems cheap because of trilogo hysteria, but I think someone got a nice item at a fair price. Toy Toni knocks them out ungraded regularly at £130 - £160. AFA seem to be soft on trilogos so an 80 is not all that. TBH what the **** does 80 mean anyway.

Good deal for all concerned I think.

Did Toy Toni also knock out dodgy tris as well?

Nope. You must remember he was a big toy dealer as well as being an alleged counter fitter. He had and still has large quantities of what seem to be legitimate MOC's that he sells. He has a seemingly endless supply of certain trilogos, including R2 pop ups and Rombas, Meccano Jawas, ROTJ lograys and POTF baradas. He has a lot of certain baggies too. Jasons list is the most comprehensive of "fishy" cards that all share one thing in common. They are minters. The other stuff he sells varies from mint all the way to the most squashed and smashed bubbles you have ever seen, with everything in-between.
 
Yeah I agree with what's been said above about the R2, as soon as people start saying "it was a steal" just because a couple of plebs have recently paid £700 on ebay for one the sooner everyone believes that £700 is the going rate and that anything under that really is a steal.

There are **** loads out there and although I didn't see the price it sold for I'm guessing it was fair or about right for a graded one (they are out there guys :D ).

Same thing happened with Yaks, it was a £400 moc for 20 years and all of a sudden people thought spending £3k on one was justified and now everyone is doing it..when that happens sellers are reluctant to let them go for anything less and buyers believe that's what they are worth.

OP - Ever so sorry for the OT Posts - good luck with the rest of your sales!
 
@ Stormcab please can you not remove prices once items have sold, the whole point of the sales archive area is to help people with values. Cheers.
