151. Walking Away: Why A Star Wars Collector Is Selling His Massive Collection After Three Decades!

After 30 years of collecting, why would someone walk away from the hobby they loved?

The answer may surprise you.

On August 11, longtime collector Tad Moore announced he had decided to stop collecting comics and Star Wars memorabilia.

He had consigned his collection to Hake’s Auctions, an auction house that would integrate his 500+ carded vintage Star Wars figures, as well as legendary prototypes and preproduction pieces, comics and original art, into a series of future catalog auctions.

But the burning question was a simple one: why?

Join host David Quinn for a fascinating conversation with Tad, as Tad shares his collecting story, his connection to the Star Wars community, and what propelled him to part with everything he had acquired over the past 30 years.

This is a can’t-miss collectors’ chat. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
