Characteristics: Star Wars action figure ‘Leia (Hoth Outfit), 41-Back, Dutch Boba Fett Offer Sticker’, rare Boba Fett offer sticker variant, from the famous John Kellerman reference collection, with certificate of authenticity that reads:

“This Certificate of Authenticity accompanies a factory sealed Star Wars action figure from the personal collection of John Kellerman, author of Star Wars Vintage Action Figures: A Guide for Collectors. John’s work contributed significantly to the Star Wars collecting hobby by creating a system to identify the combinations of front and back packaging designs for the Star Wars action figures produced by Kenner from 1978 to 1985.

This Princess Leia figure is part of the reference collection that John maintained to document examples of each Front-Back (F-B) combination. Photograph 3.136 in his book feature this item.

Having decided to sell his collection in order to focus on other interests, John consigned his reference figures to Toy Chamber Collectibles. The undersigned affirm that the item described above is part of the original collection John assembled to document Kenner Star Wars action figure Front-Back combinations that informed his book on the subject” (signed by Todd Chamberlain and John Kellerman) – See the match between the back and the pictures of the CoA and on the Kellerman book.

We consider all domains of collecting, from naturalia (minerals, meteorites, fossils, shells, etc.) to artificialia (coins, stamps, sport memorabilia, vintage toys, etc.). We consider objects with impressive pedigrees as well as rare collection catalogues and other unique documents.

We make some of our specimens and documents available to other collectors from time to time.
