Empire strikes back japanese b1

[mahmudf]

Hi everyone

I'm planning to sell and a dealer has expressed interest in it. The problem i have is that he wants me ask what would you take it.

But there's not many comparables around to come up with.

Does anyone have and ballpark figures i can go back to them. The dealer is a very prominent in japanese posters


It's rolled with small tear in edge

Any help would be deeply appreciated

There's a few different B1s for Empire (4 I think?) - can you describe which design one it is?

Hi Tob

It's this one

That's my favourite one!

Heritage sold one last year for $4250. Propstore sold one last year for $693. FilmartGallery had one for $2400 that sold last year. Bruce hasn't sold one for a while.

So a bit hard to price. If it's a dealer, I reckon they'd list it around the $2.5k+ mark...so don't undersell yourself.

If the dealer doesn't give you the price you want, you could try a private sale in the 'Star Wars Poster Collectors' group on Facebook.

Maybe T, Undead or porkinsred6 can chime in, they know SW posters well.

Thank you Tob

I only found a few entries in Bruce's auction history but they are quite old.

$2.5k seems about right. I really at £2k so let's see what happens
