Anyone collect SW badges?

[Michael Sith]

Is there a place for collecting badges in SW theme?

I have the modern set of E1 badges but have a couple of earlier ones, just got me thinking, were there a decent range of badges brought out, and are they collectible :?:

Depends what your looking for mate.

I collect 1977-1985 badges if you want ant info on them.

It was just general as I didn't know what vintage badges were out there to collect, and what sort of price ranges they are, which are the hard to find ones

Like I say just wondered if they were collectible

Ill do some googling :wink:

Cheers

There's not a major collectors market for them, Star Wars wise. There a plenty vintage ones (especially factors) that were some of the earliest collectables that go really cheap.

Some foreign vintage badges are a lot rarer and can fetch a lot more considering its just a badge.

Funny you should start this topic. I picked these up a couple of weekends ago at a flea market. I doubt they are official, but they are old as you don't see badges like this anymore.

Like them, the blue one has 20 th century fox on it

I think they look cool 8)

 

[Grant_C]

They are both official.

The small red one is from the UK.

The blue one is made by factors and was one of the first licenced products to hit the stores.

That's cool then. I only paid £3 for the pair.

Nice one...pin money :wink:

There great fun to collect and most of these can be picked up for pennies. You can add to your collection when figure droughts are on without breaking the bank.

Wow, they look great. I'll certainly keep an eye out for anymore.

Bugger me, the patches are nice :roll:
Another line to look for, great idea though, like you say if there is a figure drought or a money drought, still get the fix
Really like the patches, reminds me of my old Denim Wrangler many, many years ago :?
