    Found some carded Star Wars figures in the wild check them out

    Just got back from a trip to my home state (Missouri). I found a no feet pez at a flea market, a bunch of vintage character glasses at Goodwill and these star wars figures at a garage sale. The cards have the jedi points cut out but they are still nice. Any idea if they are worth anything? Was a blast finding stuff for a change. I'm a vintage starwars, pez, and glass collector so I'm super stoked.

    I'd almost bet the cards would be considered trashed by purists. Me personally I think they're awesome!

      There's still worth something, just considerably less. The ones where the hole is is the back would be more desirable. R2 looks to be a 12 back and the demand is always there for those. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if you could get $100 a pop still for the top 4. They would also still somewhat prized by certain collectors due being unopened. The Hoth Leia could fetch $5o to the right person. Jedi cards tend to be less so those I wouldn't raise my hopes on.

        I only buy figures that have been resealed or the pop is cut out. I can tell you from experience that R2 alone can fetch $75 cause I bought one recently.

              Thanks guys. I paid $10 each for them. I only needed the ewoks for my collection, so I will probably put the rest on the bay. what is a 123 card? It was a super fun trip finding things for the collection in the wild for cheap. It makes the hunt alot more fun when you're not paying for things on ebay.

                I think he meant a 12-back, which is the initial release of the first 12 figures. I would be happy to buy any of the first four you posted.

                  Yep, typo. 12 back is what I meant.

                    Twelve back Artoo? Damn shame.

                    But that is a hell of a find!

                    I found a 21 back Greedo at an Amish antique store for $5 once.

                      Yep, even with the proof of purchase seals cut out, that was an awesome find.

                        What an awesome find! Those really bring back the memories. And yet it seems like it was only yesterday. I better watch it. I'm going to slip into a Carpenter's song any minute.

                          It's cool to see all those 12 back with KMart tags, because that's where I got all my early SW figures.

                              Out of curiosity, where in MO did you run across these?
