Summary
This episode focuses on budget-friendly Star Wars and related collectibles available on eBay. The host begins with several CGC-graded comics, starting with X-Men #133 in CGC 9.6 featuring the first solo Wolverine story and first mention of his healing factor, with a fair market value target of $300. He also covers ASM #201 (9.8) tied to the new Spider-Man movie trailer showing Tom Holland teaming up with Punisher, G.I. Joe #14 with first full Destro appearance, and Star Wars #39 newsstand edition featuring the Empire Strikes Back adaptation. The vintage Kenner section highlights several rare Spanish PBP figures from Treasures from the Attic, including a Luke X-wing Pale Hands variant and brown-haired Luke Bespin figure, both extremely difficult to find. Multiple Spanish PBP R2-D2 figures appeared after months of scarcity. Other notable items include an AFA 75+ double telescoping Luke Farmboy, various high-grade figures in older AFA cases suitable for reholdering, and a Tolltoys 65-back Lando Calrissian from Australia. The host emphasizes budget-conscious buying while noting condition issues like cracked blisters, card creases, and potential ink touch-ups that should keep prices lower for collectors on tight budgets.
