Kenner 12 Back Leia with 32 back Transition Sticker

[scottie_boy]

Hello All

I did have a look online about this one, but read conflicting advice on how unusual they are, and therefore any premium over the standard figure.

She has had a price sticker at some stage, I think the sticker has been scored out with a marker, and then the sticker successfully removed at a later date, but that has left a few ink marks on the top left of the card to the right of the white price sticker box.

The surface creasing is only visible on tilting the card toward the light, just wanted to include an indication that card is not mint, but still nice.

Would appreciate any thoughts.

Hi Scottie-Boy,

I recently traded a nice example of a Leia 12/32 (AFA 75 75/85/85) with a fellow collector and received around £550 for it in other collectables. The Leia is one of the 2 most common 12/32 examples found (I think R2 is the other) but that said there are far fewer than the standard 12 backs.
Given the fact that yours has the ink and the cardback creases IMHO I think your could realise around £250 for a cash sale.
Best of luck.
regards,
Christian

Its a nice looking piece, but your problem here is the ink stains, wich will make it impossible to have it graded as it will be consired as touch ups, will will devalue it alot.

If you want to get the fair market price for it, just stick it on ebay and see what it achieves.???

I a similar way, a 12 Back pinhead Han got sold on ebay yesterday in auction format. I was a clean card with ding/dent free bubble fully sealed.
It had 2 flaws, wich where frosting to the figures head (wich can be removed) and the POP was shaved off the Back (not cut out, so it wasn't even visible from the front).

This 1é back sold for £180 whilst, i guess when the pop would had been shaved off, it owuld had sold for around 3-4 times the amount.

That's the same problem you will have with this 12/32 back Leia.

Once the POP is removed or there are ink stains, alot off collectors will keep their hands off...
