Are Yellow Bubbles more prone to problems and how less desirable do they make the item to a collector?

[QUOTE="Dannywhiteley, post: 430753, member: 6547"] The yellowing is a result of the plastic degrading over time. They weren't supposed to be around 40 years plus. The more yellowed they are generally the more brittle and prone to damage they are. Collectors tend to appreciate that all bubbles will eventually yellow in time so there is an degree of the inevitable about it. That said, clear bubble examples that remain fetch a significant premium on most Jedi and POTF cards (and many ESB these days), which can be as much as 10× the price of yellowed bubbles. A bit silly if they are all going to yellow eventually anyway. [/QUOTE]
