East Bristol Auctioneer Andrew Stowe spoke with Southwest News Service about the monumental auction that’s going live on January 27th, stating that it’s “difficult to match.”
Stowe continues:
“The haul is the private collection of a Bristol gentleman who collected the memorabilia for over thirty years. He was buying the original figures in the mid-nineties when they could be purchased for just a few pounds. Now some of those figures alone are worth over a thousand!”

Stowe continues:
“When I first met with the vendor, what I thought was a quick home visit turned into a morning out. When I just kept getting handed folder after folder of autographs, turning each page over revealed something else incredible… It’s unique, and I’ve never seen one like this come on the market before. It’s very exciting. Star Wars has an appeal like nothing else – its fan base is intergalactic! This collection will attract worldwide attention, for sure.”
