*STAR WARS* HELP! How much would an almost complete set of original STAR WARS trading cards sell for?

The trading cards that I have are the original 1977 trading cards. They are in good shape. Most of the sets are complete.

*STAR WARS* HELP! How much would an almost complete set of original STAR WARS trading cards sell for?
Not enough that it would be worth getting rid of them.





The sad fact for most people who hung on to old Star Wars toys and memorabilia, is that there isn't much interest in used, open, and incomplete stuff. There is HUGE money trading hands every day, but it's primarily for toys and cards that have been never opened (and even then, the difference between a few creases and cracks in the packaging can mean hundreds if not thousands of dollars difference in value).





To specifically answer your question though, I bought a complete set of 1977 Star Wars Topps trading cards - all 5 series (blue, red, yellow, green, and orange) - in near mint condition for like $50.





For a collection that's in "good shape" and only "mostly" complete, you're not gonna get much at all. Maybe $10 or $20.





The problem is, there are simply too many unopened packs still out there. The real collectibles are the cardboard boxes (the ones that used to sit on the counter at 7-11) that are unopened, with all 36 sealed wax packs inside, gum included!





What people do is to buy up the boxes, open them up and create a bunch of mint condition sets and sell them off individually.





If I were you, I'd put your cards in a nice binder and either give them to a kid (big or little!) who might appreciate them. Or, stick them back in the closet and try again in another 30 years.





May the force be with you!
