[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 371801, member: 2"] There's some good advice above but it's very important to remember that there are many exceptions to general rules. For example, yes Star Wars characters on Star Wars cards are generally worth more than Star Wars characters on later cards, however the original Leia is much harder to find and more valuable on a Jedi card than she is on a Star Wars or Empire card. And General Madine is only worth about £25 on a normal Jedi card, but about 10 grand on a trilogo Jedi card! Basically you just need to do your research on each and every character, as there is no 'one size fits all' rule. One thing you may like to consider collecting is what's called trilogo cards, they used to be shunned because they are from the end of the line in the mid 80s but are becoming popular with collectors now because the bubbles do not go yellow, and also there are about 85 characters available on the same cardback, which obviously looks great on display. They can be cheaper than Kenner/Palitoy cards, but again there are many exceptions. [/QUOTE]
