Considering selling collection of Palitoy 65 back (AFA 85+)

[sonnyjames]

Hi. I've been collecting this line for about ten years now but for numerous reasons am reluctantly considering selling all but a couple of my absolute favourites.

I've no idea on the valuations and whether to sell individually or as a collection, so would appreciate any advice this forum might be able to offer before I decide whether or not to take the plunge. Thanks in advance to all!

I know AFA isn't for everyone but when I started collecting I felt it offered me a little more protection (rightly or wrongly, and I know and hear both sides!) when buying online. Therefore my entire collection is AFA graded. I also made a conscious decision to only try and collect high graded figures (clear bubbles and 85NM+ as a minimum), so this is a really nice set of figures. All are 65 backs with the Chewbacca offer.

Han (Hoth outfit) - unpunched, overall 85,subs all 85
Gamorrean Guard - punched, overall 85, subs of 85(c), 90(b), 85(f)
C-3P0 - unpunched, overall 90, subs all 90
Rebel Commando - punched, overall 85, subs all 85
Squid Head - punched, overall 85, subs all 85
AT-AT Driver - unpunched, overall 85, subs of 85(c), 90(b), 85(f)
Logray - punched, overall 85, subs of 85(c), 90(b), 85(f)
Lando (skiff) - unpunched, overall 85, subs of 85(c), 90(b), 90(f)

Can provide photos / AFA numbers if helpful. Hope this gives people enough info to go on but please do let me know if I can give anything else. Really appreciate any opinions you may have!

Hi Sonny.

Welcome to the forum. 8)

If you could some pictures and AFA sub grades to the thread that would be fantastic.

I think I am right in saying that ToyToni did not tarnish 65 backs although this hasnt been confirmed. I will wait for Jason to chime in

You have some very nice pieces there. Good Luck! 8)

I'm afraid that's incorrect. From the list above, I would suspect the following are Tonis:-

Gamorrean Guard - punched, overall 85, subs of 85(c), 90(b), 85(f)
C-3P0 - unpunched, overall 90, subs all 90
Squid Head - punched, overall 85, subs all 85
AT-AT Driver - unpunched, overall 85, subs of 85(c), 90(b), 85(f)
Logray - punched, overall 85, subs of 85(c), 90(b), 85(f)
Lando (skiff) - unpunched, overall 85, subs of 85(c), 90(b), 90(f)

Will need to see pictures to confirm.

Every time I see high grades like that now the first thing to go through
my mind is 'is it a toni?'
