POP 6 - This is one of only six AFA 90 examples inclusive of all Starscream variants found in AFA’s population report. None are graded higher.
Exceptional ultra high-grade MISB example of popular Series 1 jet: Starscream. This is only the second time we have offered a Starscream of this caliber. The first, sold two years ago, blew away the estimate and realized an impressive $14,655, click here. Based on a comparison of the photos, in regard to condition, our current offering appears superior. Keep in mind, a high-grade Starscream is extremely rare and we have yet to offer a single AFA 85 in our auctions. They’re highly coveted by upper-end collectors and just don’t see the market. Finding an AFA 90 is truly extraordinary!
Starscream along with Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, Grimlock, Bumblebee, and Shockwave are considered the most popular G1 pieces. As many collectors have learned the hard way, when the opportunity presents to land the highest graded example, it should not be taken lightly! Our example is simply fantastic. The box is virtually flawless with only the most minor of imperfections. Exceptional color throughout! Each end is firmly factory tape sealed with no color break along either of the front edges. Window is crystal clear as is the bubble within that holds the jet in place. The clear bubble is firmly attached to the cardboard backing. The Starscream jet itself is in pristine condition. As nice of an example as there is in existence, when the dust settles on November 9th, we expect this G1 trophy piece to be locked away for a long, long time.
