Hake’s Auctions is the premiere pop culture auction house, specializing in Americana and treasures from the 20th century.

And for Star Wars collectors, Hake’s offers the chance to win some of the rarest and most desirable action figure-related items. And the pieces in Auction #233 are no exception.

Join host David Quinn for a conversation with collector Matt George about the upcoming Hakes auction, as they go page by page through the Star Wars section for the first time together. Along the way, Matt shares information he learned as a collector and from researching and co-writing the essential Kenner book “Engineering an Empire: The Creators of Star Wars Toys” that will give context and insight to many of the pieces in the catalog.
