There are few collectibles from the glorious decade of the 1980’s that carry the prestige of a mint in sealed box 1984 Soundwave.  Widely considered one of the most desirable pieces in the entire G1 line, an early release Soundwave is one that is on everyone’s short list.  To the disappointment of collectors, supply falls far short of demand and even some of the most seasoned collectors find this piece eluding them.  The high demand and short supply has driven the market for Soundwave to new heights as of late.  Even the later released “rubsign” versions are now realizing between $7,500-$10,000 in high grade.  It has been quite some time since an acceptable early release 1984 MISB Soundwave “prerub” has come to market.  Collectors will be thrilled to learn the wait is now over.

We are pleased to present a delightful, upper grade example of one of the hobby’s most cherished pieces.  Instantly recognizable box art with deep color enrich this seemingly factory fresh piece.  All of the necessary attributes are present.  The reverse is magnificent, exhibiting no flap crease whatsoever. The ever important tape seal adorns both ends with no sign of give.  Aesthetically strong with few observable blemishes and recently graded; AFA has assigned an overall grade of 80+ with subgrades of 80/85/85.  We are confident that this one stacks up quite favorably against prior graded 85’s, and at recent price levels of the later released “rubsign” version, we see tremendous upward mobility for this early “prerub” specimen.  A truly stunning collectible that is sure to please the winning bidder!  Encapsulated by AFA (80+, 80-85-85), #11761738
