74. 41-Backs And A Treasure Trove Of Empire Strikes Back Rarities From The Hakes Auction! (Part 4)

When was the last time a sealed “Special Offer” Boba Fett Slave 1 vehicle came up for sale? Are carded 41-back Empire Strikes Back figures undervalued gems?

A 41A Han Bespin, a 41E Dengar and AT-AT Driver, a 45 Luke Hoth, and a 48C TIE Fighter Pilot are some of the beautiful carded figures in this catalog. And in addition to the carded figures, Auction 234 boasts a collection of rare vintage vehicles, playsets, prototypes, displays and international memorabilia. Highlights? How about a sealed Special Offer Slave 1, a yellow-box six-pack, the incredibly rare Kenner Canada Sears carded three-pack, a Kenner Canada shrink-wrapped R2-D2 with Sensorscope figure, a sealed Cloud City Playset, a vacuform Yoda display with shelf talkers and the original shipping box, and a set of 15 Japanese Popy boxed ESB figures!
