Empire Strikes Back Wax Boxes Series 1 vs 3

The price on a wax box at BBCE is $175 for Series 1 and $95 for series 3. I get that it's supply and demand, but does anyone know why it worked out like this? Are there specific tough to find cards in series 1 or is it most likely that topps simply increased production on 3? Something else? There may not be a "right" answer here, but I thought someone might have some insight.

    I saw that the empire strikes back wax boxes were outragous compared to SW boxes and ROTJ boxes. I don't know if they were made in smaller quantities or what but i was able to pick up a series 5 SW box for the same price of an ESB box.

    People are getting a little too greedy with the ESB boxes. I've been dealing with all the Star Wars boxes for some time and I think the following are fair prices for full boxes, but you may get more or hold out for less.

    Star Wars
    series 1 - $400-$500
    series 2 - $325-$375
    series 3 - $275-$325
    series 4 - $225-$275
    series 5 - $175-$225

    Empire Strikes Back
    series 1 - $75-$100
    series 2 & 3 - $50-$75

    Return of the Jedi
    series 1 & 2 - $30-50

    Really? $400 to $500 for SW 1? I routinely see these sell for quite a bit more than this on eBay. Your prices look right for the rest, though.

  • Wow Star Wars prices are nuts. I have to find my ESB rack boxes. Just found my ROTJ sets (around 50 of them) still shrinkwrapped from when I bought them in the 80's from Renatta Galasso.
