    2025/01/28
    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.

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!

    2025/01/13
    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.

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.
