Having bought 3 or 4 Imp dignitary all having a small chip on their nose I decided to get a carded one cheap and remove the figure but now im not so sure what to do with it.

Do I remove figure put him in the collection and sell the other one and the coin and card?

or sell the carded one and look for a mint loose?

or keep them all??

Help me please! cheers

The card looks pretty crummy and you do get the fun and excitement of opening a figure for the first time in years!

DO IT!

it doesn't look particularly worth keeping on the card to me, i guess it depends how much you paid for it?

Dont know about selling the coin either! I am sure that the Dignitary coin will be pretty common...

I'd love to see what AFA would say about that if you were to submit it for grading! After they'd picked themselves up off the floor and stopped laughing, of course!

I reckon we could be lookin at the first ever AFA 100, what do you think?
:wink:

I think it does depend on how much you paid for it, how much you want an imperial dignitary, and how much a mint loose one might cost.

I have a similar problem - I bought this Vader to send to AFA for a U grade, but part of me now does not want to destroy the original packaging even though it is damaged:-



if you do decide to do this AFA now grade coins as well (which will probably raise their price even more): -




- I agree with the other posts though - it will be far more fun to open it yourself!

I have these Tri-logos that a friend gave me years ago out of the store in his dad's Toy shop.

Again like others have said it depends how much you paid for the carded one.

If it was under Ã'£30 I would carefully remove the figure and list the "damaged" figure along with the card (with coin still attached).

I paid Ã'£22 for the carded figure + postage of Ã'£4 thought it was a good buy really

I do need the figure for my loose collection (I only need 5 more now for a full set)

A mint figure normally gets Ã'£20 ish, what do you think????

I quite like the idea of opening it and selling the card/coin with the other figure with the chipped nose.
