I'm looking for some help please on pricing this Palitoy Han Hoth 30A Reseal. I know what I think it's probably worth, but reseals can be tricky to price, so any opinions from the forum would be welcome
The figure, bubble and weapon are the originals that came with the card, however the footer is a custom one made by me. The original tape holding the weapon had long-since yellowed and come off, so I cleaned off the old residue, and then used high quality Scotch acid-free tape to reattach the weapon (this tape is not supposed to yellow over time).
Obviously the bubble has started to yellow, and there is a small ding at the top right of it, plus there is a small tear in the bubble (presumably from when it was originally opened back in 1980) at the top centre where it joins the card. The previous owner had also had sellotape on a couple of areas of the card for many years; one in the region behind the figure's left hand which doesn't show too badly, and the other more obvious one immediately above the bubble. I was able to drastically improve both of these, especially the one above the bubble, but both areas are obviously still visible. That aside, the backing card is actually excellent, with good colour and is also unpunched.
