206. Star Wars Fans Collectors Share Fascinating Predictions And Personal Goals For The Year Ahead!

If you grew up during the era of the original Star Wars trilogy, you’re probably more familiar with Kenner’s repro art than you may realize.

From weekly newspaper ads to many of the images on cardbacks, cups, and Star Wars memorabilia, repro art presented the latest toys in an appealing way, enticing both children and parents to “collect them all.”

And for Kenner, repro art standardized how these action figures and assorted items appeared in print across the country.  

So, how much do you know about repro?

Join host David Quinn for part one of a new collectors conversation series, as he chats with collector Ron Salvatore.  

Dive deeper into previously unexplored topics, as Ron shares insights and information from the articles he’s written for the website The Star Wars Collectors Archive over the past year.

Ron and David also discuss the exciting collector events they’ve attended together, and the ways in which meetups can profoundly impact friendships within the Star Wars community.  

This is the essence of collecting and connecting, and why Star Wars resonates with each of us.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

208. A "Star War" In 1975? Talking Star Wars Miniatures, Milestones And Meetups With Ron Salvatore!

World records, clear bubbles, high grades and a ton of acrylic.

On January 22nd, Hake’s hosted the first sale of the Jeff Jacob collection, bringing in an impressive $1.45 million.

And Star Wars collectors aggressively pursued the hundreds of action figures, vehicles, playsets and memorabilia, some of which were the rarest and highest graded examples in the world.  

And as Auction 1035 kicks off a new year of Star Wars collector events, what do the sales tell us about the current state of the collectors market?

Is $105,000 for an Obi-Wan really surprising?

Which items shockingly sold for prices that were multiples of their high estimates?

What effect does grade, name recognition and curation have on sales?

And what do collectors need to watch out for when bidding on graded items at these larger auctions?

Join host David Quinn for a look at the results and trends of January’s Hake’s auction, through the history of past auctions, previous comparable sales, and information only hardcore collectors would know!

This is how a Prune Face hammers at $7800.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.

Rodney – Sean – Jason… They are The Film School Janitors
