72. A $20,000 Sandcrawler??? Identifying The Vintage Star Wars Gems In The Hake’s Auction (Part 2)

Has "The Book of Boba Fett" series sparked or diminished interest in Boba Fett memorabilia? Are 20 backs and 12” figures the next items to soar in value? Will a sealed Jawa Sandcrawler cross the $20,000 mark? How’s this for a lineup? Vintage three-Packs, box flats, carded 21-back Boba Fetts, a Kenner Canada wind-up R2-D2, a sealed Sears Cantina Playset, a boxed Palitoy cardboard Death Star and an incredibly rare “Get a Free Boba Fett Action Figure” display bell. These are some of the heavily desirable Star Wars-era collectibles offered in Hake’s densely-packed auction 234. This season’s offering is an exciting one, with prototypes and production figures spanning the Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Power of the Force, DROIDS and EWOKS lines of 1977-1985. Join host David Quinn and collector/author Matt George for a conversation about these items and more, as they explore the latest Hake’s catalog. In part two of this series, David and Matt share the stories behind the pieces, as well as some of the latest market trends and items to target!
