Page 1 of Star Wars Bubblegum Cards... I`m rich I tells yah!

farkin hell!!!....

I bought a sealed box of Topps nostalgia ridden STAR WARS HERITAGE bubblegum trading cards... I just thought they would be a great trip down memory lane to the time when i would buy them from the Ice Cream Van back in the 70s...

I didn`t know anything about them..(or trading cards in general really)... but i do now.. oh I do now... coz I found something in one of the packs ..

MARK HAMILL AUTOGRAPH

what should i do?.. sell it or keep it?.. one sold for $1,100 last week

Wait till Episode III comes out.



I enjoy being wrong and clueless on other subjects - My wife usually alerts me to which ones, as there seem to be an awful lot around the house.

You could give it to your grandchildren as their inheritance.... Or wait until Hamill dies - you`d get a premium the week or two after that I`d reckon ;)

I`m amazed at that - normally Mark Hamills autograph isn`t worth much, and can be got very easily.

true.. but`s the fact that you only have a one in 7000 chance of getting one

Mark Hamill signed less than a 100 of these cards, and they are VERY rare. Its the first time he has signed an official Topps trading card. $1100 is about the max you would get for it now. When the set was released back in September, some "lucky people" were selling there`s for over $2000!! The card is not worth anywhere near that amount, but as with all things EBAY related, you get some silly, desperate people bidding amazing amounts for a card worth, to be honest, around the £300-£400.
Carrie Fisher signed around 100 cards as well, and her`s was fetching around $500.
Yet when she signed on a previous card set by TOPPS called "SW Evolution", a few years back, people were paying over $2000. :o
If you decide to sell, i reckon you would get around £500 for it.
You could hang onto it for future selling on EBAY, or just enjoy having a very rare card in your collection, like i do with all my original SW bubble gum cards and stickers from the 70`s and 80`s. :)

I`ve got the original soundtrack on vinyl signed by the people who played R2D2 and C3PO. Always wondered if it was worth much. Maybe it is?

That is very cool. Congratulations. :D

I would hold off for a bit HaGGis. In fact I`d have trouble giving it up. But its always hard to turn down a £1000?

I`m probably going to sell it... it`s too much money to knock back. for something that clearly isn`t worth it... I`ll buy a signed photo of cock-knocker as a replacement.. and put the money towards next years disney holiday..
