Think you’ve collected everything there is to own for Star Wars? Think you’ve proven yourself beyond a shadow of a doubt to be the ultimate Star Wars superfan? You may just be a little wrong. The new Hake’s auction has a whopping number of Star Wars collectibles up for bid, and some of the top items are among the rarest in existence! Check out some of the items below, then head over to Hake’s to cement your legacy as the biggest Star Wars fan in your friend circle.
Hake’s – STAR WARS (1978) – LUKE SKYWALKER 12 BACK-A AFA 85 NM+ (DOUBLE-TELESCOPING, POP 3).
One of the earliest, rarest and most sought-after Star Wars figures, Luke Skywalker with double-telescoping lightsaber, is being offered on an unpunched card. Unpunched! After this, all Lukes were single-telescoping, and production numbers skyrocketed, making this as rare as it gets. To find it not opened, not played with and not partially chewed on is a miracle. Current bid: $15,000
With its logo in three languages, the “Tri-Logo” Star Wars figure is highly desirable, and this French release by Meccano features a different figure colorway and a unique blister bubble. Make it Boba Fett, and you’ve got a recipe for high bids! Even on a punched card, it’s the highest graded example of this configuration. Current Bid: $13,200
Hake’s – STAR WARS: THE POWER OF THE FORCE (1985) – IG-88 92 BACK PROOF CARD AFA 80+ NM.
When is an empty cardback worth more than one with a figure on it? When it’s one that was never made! Infamous bounty hunter IG-88 was never released on a Power of the Force card, but this unpunched proof card exists all the same! With 92 characters on the back, it’s the ultimate unproduced Star Wars collectible. Current Bid: $9,350
Hake’s – GLASSLITE STAR WARS: DROIDS (1988) – VLIX AFA 60 EX.
Ah, Vlix. The Star Wars: Droids character who was only released in Brazil, due to the show’s cancellation. Not the prettiest character, but the rarest, with only 13 AFA-graded examples in existence. Don’t call yourself a completist until you pick one of them up. Current Bid: $7,500
Hake’s – STAR WARS: THE POWER OF THE FORCE (1985) – YAK FACE 92 BACK AFA 80 Y-NM (KENNER CANADA).
Ah, Yakface – another looker, another figure that was only released internationally. This one came from Canada, where he clearly saw some things that yellowed his blister, but his card somehow remained unpunched. Current Bid: $6,110
Hake’s – STAR WARS (1977) – CHEWBACCA RARE FIRST SHOT ACTION FIGURE AFA 85 NM+.
Pre-production samples of the first 12 Star Wars figures are very rare, so this “first shot” Chewbacca is a bit of a find. With no paint, no legal stamp, no hole in the foot and made of a stiffer material than regular figures, this all-brown Chewbacca comes with a slightly different version of his bowcaster and is graded for his – and your – protection. Current Bid: $5,500
