Kenner Star Wars Price Guide | "Potpourri Edition"

The host, known as the Action Figure Grader, opens the episode by previewing two main segments: a review of recent eBay sales for vintage Kenner Star Wars items, and an investigation into suspicious mint-on-card listings flagged by a viewer.

The sales review begins with lower-ticket items. A First 12 display stand with mailer box sold for $255, which the host describes as one of the cheapest he's seen for that item. An early bird certificate with display stand and paperwork sold for $776 ungraded, contrasted against a CAS 75 graded example that previously sold for over $2,000. An AFA 80 early bird mailer kit with a non-telescoping Luke Skywalker sold for $7,500, which the host describes as toward the lower end of the range for that grade.

The host then covers double-telescoping saber figures: an ungraded example in rough condition sold for $728, while an AFA 80 telescoping saber Luke farm boy sold for $1,250 through an affiliate link sent to his Patreon members. A holo cheeks Tusken Raider in near-mint condition sold for $350, which the host notes has come down from around $450 and is now a consistent market price.

Several graded vehicle and accessory sales are covered: a CAS 90 diecast Slave I sold for $330, an AFA 85 laser rifle carry case sold for $637, and a CAS 80 Plus Chewbacca with Power of the Force coin sold for $243. The host highlights the rarity of finding an AT-ST driver in high grade, noting this AFA U85 example sold for $262 and almost never appears at auction.

Further graded figure sales include an AFA 90 Hong Kong COO blue saber Luke Skywalker for $635, an AFA 80 R2-D2 pop-up lightsaber for $829 (versus a UKG 90% that sold for over $1,500), a JSA-certified John Ratzenberger autographed Hoth Rebel Commander UKG 85 for $271, an AFA 85 Plus blank raised bar COO Luke Bespin for $678, an AFA 90 Mon Mothma baggy for $510, an AFA 85 loose Mon Mothma for $455, an AFA 85 Imperial Gunner for $510, and an AFA 80 Plus Yak Face for $740.

The episode's most significant segment involves a seller whose mint-on-card listings raised serious authenticity concerns. The host initially featured the Power Droid listing in a 'what to buy' video, noting it looked suspicious but was reassured by an old Kmart price sticker. However, a viewer on Instagram sent photos revealing that the blisters appear to be held on with double-sided tape rather than original heat seals, suggesting either repro blisters or repro card backs dressed up with vintage stickers. The Ben Kenobi listing most clearly shows the tape and a visible divot near the white racetrack area. A Children's Palace sticker was also used on another card. Despite the seller updating their auction to disclose a buyer's concerns, the host suggests a seller with the username 'Jedi Master Demetri' should have recognized these signs. The Power Droid still sold for $766, the Ben Kenobi for $810, a Leia for $571, and a Death Squad Commander 12-back for $457. The host urges viewers who purchased these items to return them and recommends sticking with trusted sellers and AFA-graded examples when possible.

The episode closes with a few legitimate sales: a 12-back A Tusken Raider for $910, a transition 48-back Lando with yellowed blister for $382, and a tri-logo Logray with immaculate blister for $305.
