80. The Story Of The Longtime Star Wars Collector Who Sold His Entire Collection At Hake’s Auction!

Did you ever wonder where the Star Wars collectibles in a Hake’s auction come from? In the latest auction, one-third of the vintage Star Wars items - an amazing assortment of carded action figures - came from one collector, curated over the span of 25 years. From seeing an X-Wing in a shop in New York City, leading to a wild hunt for the highest quality carded figure examples available, to the heartbreak of dropping and destroying a $20,000 action figure and making a very tough decision - our collector’s story is an amazing one. And at the end of his journey, he received a shocking surprise as the Hake’s auction came to a close. This is one story you do not want to miss. Join host David Quinn and collector/author Matt George for final episode in the Hake’s auction series, with the collector who sold his entire Star Wars collection at Hake’s Auction 234.
