I was jus wondering why prices on eBay for a carded Elite Booker T / King Booker figure are so high? $90 on up to around $200?!
Was this an exclusive figure? I remember seeing it a couple times, but I had no idea it was rare, limited, exclusive, anything that would make it so pricey. I mean, I know about Tully Blanchard hitting those numbers, but I had no idea "King Bookah" would demand such a hefty sum. |

Not an exclusive or rare, but very popular. So scalpers are going to try and make money off it. That said if people didn't waste their money grossly over paying for things on the secondary market then the scalpers wouldn't be asking so much.

Not only because the figure is awesome, but because people passed on it the first time it was released.

I think he'll end up in the HOF Elite line at Target in the near future, don't pay scalper prices! Although, If you can get him under $25, grab it!

I bought one when it was first released in stores. I have only ever saw one of them in stores and that was the one I bought.

I only saw the figure once and that was the time I purchased it. The gimmick annoyed me but the figure is beautiful.

It's a great figure of a well respected, popular wrestler.
And the only elite version of him and is a couple of years old now.
It's bound to be worth a lot.

It was a very popular figure when it was released. People list them high but completed ones are selling for under 60.00.

I had a feeling that Booker and Bossman were going to be tremendous pains at tge time of release. Same for Yokozuna. Thankfully i found all at retail. The only one i didnt find that i knew would be trouble was E16 Nash. Fot Diesel with no trouble, but i still dont have the Nash.

For me personally, I wasn't excited for king booker. I'm more excited for the new basic coming out with short dreads, I wish that was an elite! Hopefully he sees another elite release |

Because it's an absolute fantastic fig. Plus it's a few years old, and was a challenge to find at retail. Majority of flashbacks (elite 12 Kane, elite 13 edge, elite 16 Nash and diesel, etc) go for more money as time goes on

It was his first Elite plus it's a couple of years old by now. Plus it was hard to find. I never found that figure at retail. Watch this figure be like Skip Sheffield. People buying it for high prices only for the figure to end up on the shelves of Biglots 2 or 3 years from now. |
