So first off, I'm not a toy collector.
I'm here because back in 1978-80ish, my mother bought some star wars figures for my brother and me, and for some reason had the foresight to leave them in the packages. They've been sitting in a box ever since, and I figured I'd see how much they're worth. You can see the whole collection in the attached picture. About half of them have squashed packages, or slightly bent/warped cards, and the other half are about as close to perfect as I'd imagine you can find. So what would be the best way to go about getting these appraised and/or sold? Thanks! |

Out of all the parent stories I've read from the 70s and 80s she's probably the smartest one of them all.
Once you get them sold off you better treat her well! If you're wanting more precise individual values and information head over to the Rebelscum forums. Their vintage collectors have an insane well of knowledge. I don't think they'd really want to buy them just because you'd be a new member with some amazing stuff and sadly scammers try this all the time but you'd probably make more in the long run selling individually and avoiding eBays 10% fees and ruthless buyer/seller policy. It's so easy for buyers to scam sellers. |

She got us the same ones to play with (and even managed to keep us from losing the guns), but she also set these aside for some reason. |
