    209. Does The First Hake’s Sale Of The Jeff Jacob Collection Reflect The Current Star Wars Market?
    Jan 28 2025
    World records, clear bubbles, high grades and a ton of acrylic. On January 22nd, Hake’s hosted the first sale of the Jeff Jacob collection, bringing in an impressive $1.45 million. And Star Wars collectors aggressively pursued the hundreds of action figures, vehicles, playsets and memorabilia, some of which were the rarest and highest graded examples in the world. And as Auction 1035 kicks off a new year of Star Wars collector events, what do the sales tell us about the current state of the collectors market? Is $105,000 for an Obi-Wan really surprising? Which items shockingly sold for prices that were multiples of their high estimates? What effect does grade, name recognition and curation have on sales? And what do collectors need to watch out for when bidding on graded items at these larger auctions? Join host David Quinn for a look at the results and trends of January’s Hake’s auction, through the history of past auctions, previous comparable sales, and information only hardcore collectors would know! This is how a Prune Face hammers at $7800. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

    Jan 20 2025
    Were the rumors true? Did the maker of a gaming miniatures figurine line originally own the rights to the Star Wars name? What is “Star War 2250,” and how did it premiere two years before George Lucas released his first Star Wars film in 1977? What is it like to celebrate 30 years of the most comprehensive and groundbreaking Star Wars collectors site? And what is it like to bring new information about beloved Star Wars action figures, prototypes and memorabilia to a community of collectors? Join host David Quinn for part two of a new collectors conversation series, as he chats with collector Ron Salvatore. Go deeper into previously unexplored topics, as Ron shares insights and information from the articles he’s written for the website The Star Wars Collectors Archive over the past year. Ron and David also discuss the exciting collector events they’ve attended together, and the ways in which meetups can profoundly impact friendships within the Star Wars community. This is a worthwhile continuation of a wonderful conversation. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

    Jan 13 2025
    If you grew up during the era of the original Star Wars trilogy, you’re probably more familiar with Kenner’s repro art than you may realize. From weekly newspaper ads to many of the images on cardbacks, cups, and Star Wars memorabilia, repro art presented the latest toys in an appealing way, enticing both children and parents to “collect them all.” And for Kenner, repro art standardized how these action figures and assorted items appeared in print across the country. So, how much do you know about repro? Join host David Quinn for part one of a new collectors conversation series, as he chats with collector Ron Salvatore. Dive deeper into previously unexplored topics, as Ron shares insights and information from the articles he’s written for the website The Star Wars Collectors Archive over the past year. Ron and David also discuss the exciting collector events they’ve attended together, and the ways in which meetups can profoundly impact friendships within the Star Wars community. This is the essence of collecting and connecting, and why Star Wars resonates with each of us. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
