Chicagoland Star Wars Variant Cover sales at show
I'd rather see the average of current known sales, which -- from what I'm looking at --right now -- seems to be $230.

If the price changes in future months that should be reflected as well.

I'm not convinced that the price will drop much to be honest. . . I'm surprised it's so high, but on the other hand there aren't that many people who are selling these. Most appear to have landed in the hands of people who are hanging on to them.

Should have gone to the show! It was a great show, and the card would have probably paid for your airfare!

If the last 5 sales average out at $150, then that's the current market and that's what the guide should be based on, as that is what the card is currently selling for. To include a small number of early sales where people are spending with their heart and not their head does not help people who are relying on the guide for current pricing/sales.

Oh believe me, I had every intention to... I was going to be a guest! But then we got pregnant, and my daughter was actually born that Saturday. Smile So I'm glad I didn't attend, but I wish I wouldn't have missed the pre-orders.

Got Mine!!! It was 291/300 It's from a old Ewok because the fur is grayish in color and sheading. Wonder why their are so many different colors? Seem like they could have all gotten all of it from one Ewok hide.

I think its too early too tell whats a good price. Being Star Wars and the 1st costume card, I expect the price to drop with the current small flood but then go up as they all disapear into collections.

I don't think they have landed in Australia yet, as I haven't received mine.

Hopefully it will take less than a fortnight. Can't wait to see it in person.

I'd rather see the card listed for the $150.00 average. The $230.00 - $250.00 price is based upon the initial emotional surge. The $150.00 price seems more rational.


I need to purchase one at around $150 :-(
Wish I could see the ad on NSU - the day they release it...

The average of the last 5 sales is $220 -- at least the ones that come up in my searches.

Then I would agree that is what the card should be listed for. The $150 was an example. Smile

Mine arrived yesterday along with the standard issue. Card 207/300. Only problem was that i damaged the COA when opening the envelope. Tore a strip of the right hand side. Still the card is great and undamaged which is the main thing
