Question on rare Kenner Starting Lineup figures

I am not much of a collector these days, but I have a question...

I grew up in Utah and was fortunate enough to get the 1988 Kenner Starting Lineup Utah Jazz figures for Karl Malone, John Stockton and Thurl Bailey. I was unfortunate enough to have been 7 at the time and of course opened them. I still have all the figures (in pretty good condition) and have one of the cards (Malone) in fairly poor condition.

I know these things are worth a ton of money in unopened, mint condition, but are they worth anything in their current state?

    Unfortunately not, they are probably only worth a couple bucks if they are opened.

    thanks kind of takes the fun out of it for kids.... I guess this is why they are worth good money still in the box!

    The loose figures are probably worth about $10-$20 each for Malone and Stockton. Card is worthless in poor condition. The unopened figures bring about $300 each.

    The last open Malone sold about 60.00 on ebay as I recall. I wasn't sure about the condition.

    If they are in decent shape, I'd hold on to them until the right buyer appears. Selling them right now
    is like giving stuff away. The 1988 Jazz pieces are tough to find in any condition.

    Good luck.

    Yes, the values noted above seem about right unless you have an unopened AFA gradeable specimen. They WILL go for more than $300 in that case(Stockton and Malone). I'd see about grading the loose figures with AFA, those are tough figures. If you're interested in selling them, PM me.

    I just found these on eBay. They did not sell, but even at half the asking price you are still doing well for an opened figure. I thought being opened they would sell for less then $10 or so. I guess I was wrong. I know the unopened ones go for high dollar, if you can find one.
