So I paid right about what I should have. Also, this is one of my favorite comics because the one in my reader copies collection is one that I had growing up.
Ahh...member berries!

OBI WAN KENOBI
Collection/Number: The Original Trilogy Collection (Vintage)

This was a very lucky pick-up and one of the first action figures I had bought in a long time. I was home on leave and saw him (and Han Solo) on clearance at Walmart. This is the series that re-ignited my passion for collecting Star Wars action figures.

This comic has been very active in auction, but not in a way that is driving the price up. There have been 9 auctions to 3 'Buy It Now' sales...and one of those was a best offer about $30 less than the asking price.
The first thing that catches my eye about this comic is that it has the old style label; which is really neat and something I personally prize.

This is a significant piece of Star Wars history; it was the first published 'Expanded Universe' story. While it was being written, created and published concurrently with Alan Dean Foster's Splinter of the Mind's Eye novel; it was on the newsstands two months before Splinter was on bookstore shelves.
ACTION FIGURE
HAN SOLO (YAVIN CEREMONY)
Collection/Number: Vintage Collection/VC42
Release Date: 2011
Accessories: Blaster, Medal Of Yavin
Variant:
This action figure is a good pairing with the comic book for two reasons:
1) Han Solo is primary on the cover.
2) In a way this is an 'Expanded Action Figure Line'; it was created expressly for the Vintage Collection. The sculpt is based on the original Han Solo costume in Star Wars and the corresponding action figure BUT the card has a different still printed on it and the medal accessory was not part of any previous Han Solo action figure.

Another low activity book. I nabbed it because it looked like a good deal coming in at under the last auction sale...which was also the only sale going back 2 years!
ACTION FIGURE
BOBA FETT (Animated Debut)
Collection/Number: 30th Anniversary Collection #24
Release Date: 2007
Accessories: Blaster Pistol, Mitrinomon Z-6 Jet Pack, Electropole, and Collector Coin
Variant: 1st Card
So I know the Fett is not in this comic, much less on the cover. AND I know this is not part of any set on the re-issued vintage cards. So why did I pick it? The creature attacking the trio of heroes reminds me of the creatures Luke encounters outside Panna City when he crashes a Y-Wing into the ocean. One of the creatures he encounters is rode by none other than...Boba Fett! Who then rescues Luke and takes him to Panna City to rescue Han from a sleeping virus that has stricken him.
What craziness am I talking about? Why the 1978 TV Movie: The Star Wars Holiday Special! If you've never heard of it (much less seen it); Lucas was so disgusted by it he decreed it never been seen again. However, there may or may not be bootlegs that people recorded on early VCRs. The animated short this figure comes from is also an Easter Egg on the first Blu-Ray release of all six movies.

I purchased this from Metropolis Comics; and they claim this is from the Pennsylvannia Dutch Pedigree/Collection. As the picture shows they placed a sticker attesting to this over the CGC hologram. On the reverse they have their inventory label/sticker. However, this is not verified by CGC.

ISSUE #33
So...this is going to take even more explaining than the lot I bought with 2 #40s and a #68. This was a lot of 2 comics graded at 9.2 for $26.00 (this was an auction), #33 and #50. For #33 there were no sales going back 2 years for this grade of this issue. So I am using figures for the next grade up (the next grade down was 7.5), they were all fixed price so there is no auction total listed.
#33
Purchased 8 October, 2016 on eBay for $13.00.
2016 eBay auction average: No sales.
2016 eBay buy it now average: No sales. (2015 9.4 history: $55.00)
It is pretty much the same story for #50. There are no recorded sales at 9.2, so I had to look at the sales history for the 9.4 books. There were 2, both fixed price and one was in 2016 and the other was 2014. So I just quote the 2016 sale here since I figure there has to be some inflation and the prices are so close to each other.
#50
Purchased 8 October, 2016 on eBay for $13.00.
2016 eBay auction average: No sales.
2016 eBay buy it now average: $40.38.
TOTAL
$26
Total auction average value: No sales.
Total buy it now average value*: $95.38.
I think that absent specific data, this is a win. I am surprised though, I would think #50 would be a key issue. It is a double sized special edition coming shortly after 'The Empire Strikes Back', and it boasts a beautifully painted cover. Oh well, a win for me!
* For the next highest grade.

Not much action going on here, only 3 sales so far for 2016. 2 auctions and 1 retail; when I bid I had to base it off the ONE 2015 auction (NO retail sales that year) where it went for $30 with one bid. Which I get; it is a one-off story about Luke, Leia, and 'The Void'. For some reason it is one of the comics I most vividly remember reading as a kid. So this was more of an emotional purchase for me.

This was my first purchase of a slabbed, vintage Marvel Star Wars book. Up until this time, I was mainly focused on building up my collection of reader copies that I have had since I was a kid and filling up the many considerable gaps in the collection. But I had ordered a Dynamic Force's Star Wars special of the day which included a slabbed comic (2015's Darth Vader #1) as part of the grab bag. I was hooked on slabs.
Luckily, I did not get too screwed in the transaction... :)
ACTION FIGURE
Darth Vader (The Empire Strikes Back Card)
Collection/Number: Vintage Collection/VC08
Release Date: 2010
Accessories: Lightsaber, 2 piece helmet
Variant: 1st Card
Not much to say about selecting the action figure for this issue. I changed the backdrop for The Empire Strikes Back since this is the first issue of the comics adaption. One of the things I like about this action figure is the sticker advertising the Boba Fett (more on this later) mailaway. Before the Internet, seeing the picture of the new figure (although sometimes it was a mystery) was the first glimpse we would get of a character in the next movie. This created a lot of questions since there was no other context. Who was this guy? Good or bad?

So...this is going to take some explaining. I bought this as a lot of 3 comics each graded at 9.6 for $160.00. There were 2 #40s and a #68 (which is an awesome cover with a Mandalorian on the cover...), so the price I listed is for each comic. I list both comics here and in #68 since they were purchased as a lot.
