Had been pondering this question, then saw someone in the props thread say they would swap their entire vintage collection for the screen used costume find.
Basically, is it only the vintage toys you really enjoy owning, or would it be an ultra rare screen used prop?
So, if the opportunity came up, that it would cost your entire vintage collection to swap for a screen used prop of equal or slightly more value that is authenticated, would you?
Yes it's a bit of a "well that's the same as a genie in a lamp, ain't gonna happen", but let's keep it simple, yes or no and why. Obviously some people have a collection worth just a few hundred pounds, and some will be well into the tens of thousands, so what prop would it be that equals yours? You can also not mention the prop if you think it will broadcast to the world what your collection is worth.
Anyway, my answer is yes I would, but it would have to be a prop that appears clearly on screen for several seconds or more. Off the top of my head, these items could include - a helmet/hat from either side (rebels/empire), a chunk of panel from inside a ship, a weapon, a decent section of miniature - basically something that can be displayed nicely in a clear case or frame.
