75. “Revenge” Proofs and Clear Bubbles: Return Of The Jedi Treasures From Hake's Auction! (Part 5)

Three months before Return of the Jedi premiered, George Lucas changed the film's title. And for decades, collectors have hunted proof cards and other memorabilia with the original “Revenge of the Jedi” logo. And while Return of the Jedi carded figures have been plentiful over the years, ones with clear bubbles command shocking prices. The latest Hake’s auction offers an incredible one-third(!) of the 50 available Revenge proofs, as well as a curated collection of desirable high-grade clear bubble 65-back figures. Join host David Quinn and collector/author Matt George for a conversation about these items and more, as they explore the Return of the Jedi collectibles in latest Hake’s catalog. In part five 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!
