Wow, A not fully sealed and faded Star Wars Digest going for over 200.I never seen them go this high, Who would ever thought. No doubt it was a Star Wars collector wanting something vintage from the first film, bid and won it.This will probably never be played. This seller must be dancing

Gee Brian , although it states new old stock , sealed , there is no mention of it being faded BUT I have gotten Ken film prints that were never opened or played and still had the original tape on the film ( which had to be scrapped off ) and the film had turned to " Eastman shift " color without air hitting it .
But what can you expect after 40 years ??

In my case fast approaching 60 I've gone somewhat hairless never mind red😉

Have a few films I have left sealed from the 70s, it's all about nostalgia tho and not money.

Oh so true, Lee.

Now, if that "Rocky" print goes for 200.00, that's a very fair price for that feature!

Well, it looks like Star Wars is a collector item! No matter what the condition? I have a couple prints by ken films! So I better hold on to them!

Same guy with Rocky got over 800 for North by Northwest looked like low fade like Rocky judging from the sheetshots

That goes to show you that some collectors will spend and spend big! What a Hobby!
