Star Trek Value Guide
Mego 1970s through Playmates TNG-era - valued on series, card condition, and the small phasers and tricorders that always go missing. This is how Star Trekvalues are actually set — not a price-guide average, but the real sold comps, the variants that matter, and the condition calls that move the number. When you want a real read on your own pieces, the appraisal below is free.
How we set the number
Every Star Trekvalue we quote is anchored to actual eBay sold listings — the exact prices matching pieces closed at, in matching condition. Active asking prices are wish prices; an automated estimate is a shrug. We start from what people genuinely paid, then adjust for the specifics of your piece.
Star Trek spans 1970s Mego, into the Playmates Next Generation and Deep Space Nine run of the 90s. These are the factors that separate a common piece from a genuine find — and the things to look at before you trust any number:
Era and maker - 1970s Mego figures are a scarcer, fragile market; 90s Playmates figures are common loose but valued carded
Accessory completeness - phasers, tricorders, and base stands are tiny and almost always lost
Card and bubble condition for carded Playmates; Mego boxed and carded pieces command a real premium
Limited and convention-exclusive figures, and short-packed later-wave characters
Some of the Star Trekpieces whose values come up most often — though every piece is worth identifying, because the value lives in the details:
The #1 mistake on Star Trek: pricing off a high active listing instead of a real sold one, and assuming condition is better than it is. A clean grade against the sold comps is the difference between a number that holds and a number that disappoints.

By real eBay sold listings - the prices Star Trek pieces in matching condition have actually closed at recently, not active asking prices and not an automated estimate. An asking price is a wish; a sold price is a receipt. We start every appraisal from the sold comps.
Era and maker - 1970s Mego figures are a scarcer, fragile market; 90s Playmates figures are common loose but valued carded. Accessory completeness - phasers, tricorders, and base stands are tiny and almost always lost. Two pieces that look identical to a casual buyer can sit at very different numbers once you account for these, which is exactly why a by-hand read beats a price-guide average.
Yes - more than almost anything else. Card and bubble condition for carded Playmates; Mego boxed and carded pieces command a real premium. We grade against pristine, not against the last beat-up copy we saw, and when it's a close call we grade down. The honest grade is what keeps the number defensible.
