Original 1977 Star Wars Figures Heritage Auction

For any Star Wars collectors, there are some quality figures in auction at Heritage.

I figured I would share this as most people don’t browse Heritage regularly. Some of the figures are pretty cheap for their rarity. It will be fun to see what they earn; one is already at $22,000!

Hijacking your heritage thread @smpratte to say there’s also the original art for an iconic vintage magic card from Arabian nights on heritage at the moment as well.

I feel like this is an easy $50k+ as you rarely see old, iconic, original art for powerful cards come on the market now as they’re all in private collections.

Im not too into magic at all so this may be normal but what that card does is crazy, imagine if you were in a rush and somebody played that haha.

Haha … it’s definitely not normal and the card is banned in all sanctioned formats, there’s no other card like it. The only format you can actually play it is the player created and unsanctioned 93/94 format aka ‘oldskool’.

@duceee2 Haha I actually didn’t notice that, well done! :blush:

@pierce If pokemon did this, it would be insane! If a Time Walk original surfaced, I would put in a bid.

I truly believe that the 1977 inaugural release of the Star Wars figures is a GREAT investment today. Due to the Hans Solo misstep Lucasfilm Ltd will seriously step it up in these coming years. Don’t sell…buy;)

Steer clear of the 1993 orange card releases for now as well as subsequent releases.

It’s a shame pokemon are so strict with the artist contracts for the TCG art, it’d be cool to own some originals. Even when it comes to characters that are wotcs IP the artists are allowed to make and sell playmats, prints, sleeves etc or sell off the originals, like Terese is doing with her 5 comicon promo planeswalkers, this is the first one of the five for sale, Liliana: www.ebay.com.au/itm/LILIANA-UNTOUCHED-BY-DEATH-ORIGINAL-PAINTING-by-TERESE-NIELSEN-MTG-Magic/153098510094

Man … if the time walk original came on the market I shudder to think what obscene amount of $$ it’d go for, a few years ago the lotus original art sold for $300k. Shahrazad has gone from $22k to $36k just while I slept!

Thanks for sharing. I would have never stumbled upon this otherwise. Found this and almost lost it thinking it was a toothbrush as the weapon. lol

One thing I realized a long time ago is the original will always be the original. No matter how many times something is re-printed, the authenticity of the initial release will never change.
