Lol I see yes you are right.
I mean a lot are on sale and selling for 1400 1450 1250 1395 etc etc so mine is cheap compared to those that why I expected it to be snapped up.
If it Doesn t get snapped up for this price 1020 shipped I ll keep it.

Yeah, but all the ones on ebay at that price and around the 1100 mark are unsold. IF you look at vectis, ones in similar condition have sold at the start of the year for prices ranging from £500-£700 + fees.

All I see on ebay right now is one ungraded with a big sticker at the bottom for 1250
And another ungraded for 1595
I paid 1200 for mine so I m taking a hit
So I m selling at a loss as I was supposed to do a trade with him for a humanoid but that deal didn't t happen
If it Doesn t sell no worries.but from what I have seen in the last year or so this is cheap.

Ungraded ones not A back

A grade chaser may pay more for an AFA'd one. It's also a coffin though and prevents safe postage. There's really no premium between 12A and 12B releases on Palitoy 12 backs in my experience.

Well I surely can agree but some collectors out there chase the A back more then the B back as the A back is a true first wave first release and therefore a little rarer, I recall you bought 6 of them of me a few years ago but in them days there was no distinction on the type a b ir c etc but collecting has evolved we keep learning everyday.
Also some palitoy 12 back c 3po have been on offer here too and all dearer in comparison for the 85 grade wether it's ukg or afa.
I just wish I did the deal for the humanoid that I need...now I m trying to recoup some funds.surely you can understand as most of us have been in a similar position at one point or another.

Hey, small world. That was my first big deal for palitoy MOCs and there were 7 of them. Including my palitoy 12c stormie.

Debut card collectors may be after a 12A card more than a 12B but there arent many of those. And for a full run of 12 backs you need a mixed 12A/12B run anyway as Han is on 12A only and jawa/dsc are on 12B.

Good luck with your sale.

Alas the good old days.

I started my 12 back run with a 12A Vader the wife found in The Cinema Store which cost me £125.
I then got an R2D2 for about £250.
Then in your deal I got Jawa, Stormie, DSC, R2D2, Vader, C3PO and Sandpeople. It was about £250-300 a card, £1900 in all.
Then I got a Ben for about £500.
Then on the eve of Celebration Europe 1, I got Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie from a sale of all 12 for about £450 a card.

So all in, £4200 for the first 12!

This was back in 2006/2007 for those wondering about those prices!

As you say, the good old days.

Oh, and I paid you by cheque. Just found the email chain in gmail. lol

:D

One of the most common 12 backs, and if you want one, you can easily buy one.

Remember getting my afa 90 for £460 all those years ago......
