I stopped collecting vintage star wars when the internet boom happened around 95-96 for me. Back in the early 90s I would hunt these figures down in local comic stores and just to even see them mint on card was a treat. This was in addition to a huge collection my brother passed down to me anyway. Something changed with the internet though...they're far to easy to find now. There were certain rarities then that you'd only see in a price guide and i'd rarely get a good look at one in person...almost legendary rare...like the 85 power of the force line, blue snaggletooth, vinyl cape jawa, early bird kit, etc.Good to see all of those together though! brings back a lot of memories. I think these days most figured are worth 5-20 tops. While a very few generate a good amount. Only very few get thousands...prototypes, vlix, etc.Mint on card is the real market for these
