Starting Lineups - SLUs - Action Figures

The Kenner company began making NFL action figures in 1988 and stopped doing it around 2000. These small 5 inch figures became a huge success in the secondary collector's market.

I have recently acquired the 1991 Neal Anderson (one that slipped through the cracks and I failed to realize that I was missing it). That brings my collection up to a total of 36. I am still missing some regionally issued pieces such as the 1988 Steve McMichael ($185.00) and the rare and much sought after, 1989 Jimbo Covert ($300).

UPDATE !!!! He has arrived! Steve McMichael is "on the wall"...37 SLUs with only Jimbo Covert missing now...Hip Hip Hooray!

The value of this collection based on Beckett prices (Jan 2006) is $1,568..."FP" stands for "First Piece" which is similar to a "rookie" in trading cards. The 1988 Willie Gault and the 1991 Dan Hampton have values of $100.00 or more each, as does the 1997 Classic Double w/ Walter Payton and Barry Sanders...THAT baby is in gem mint condition too. Let us not forget the newly aquired Steve McMichael valued at $185.00 for a grand total of $1,753.00
