Collection of Five CGC Graded Star Wars Marvel Comics
LANGUAGE UNLOCK
Glossary Roundup
Original Presentation Script
Hello, collectors! Today we are looking at something truly out of this world: a collection of five CGC-graded Star Wars comic books published by Marvel Comics. But these aren't just any Star Wars comics; this lot includes the legendary 35-cent price variants of issues number one through four, published in 1977 to adapt the original film.
For those who might not know, Marvel tested a price increase from 30 cents to 35 cents in a very limited number of markets. As a result, these 35-cent variants are exceedingly rare, and finding them in high grades is the holy grail for Star Wars comic collectors.
These books have been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by CGC. We have issue number one in a stunning 9.4, issue two in a 9.0, issue three in a 9.2, and issue four in a 9.4. The collection is rounded out by a beautiful 1983 issue number 68, featuring Boba Fett, in a near-perfect 9.8 grade.
The condition of these books, preserved in their tamper-evident CGC holders, is exceptional. The high grades confirm their pristine state, with white or off-white to white pages noted on the labels.
Given the extreme rarity of the 35-cent variants, especially the issue number one in a 9.4, and the unquestionable authenticity provided by the CGC grading, this collection is highly significant. At auction, a conservative estimate for this extraordinary grouping would be between $15,000 and $25,000. May the Force be with the lucky bidder who takes these home!

This is an extraordinary collection of high-grade, key Star Wars comic books. The presence of the incredibly rare 35-cent price variants for the first four issues, all in grades of 9.0 or higher, makes this a museum-quality grouping for comic collectors.
