I've always been surprised at the lack of interest in these. I'd have thought they were more coverted than they appear to be. Even good condition ones go for less than £30.

Suddenly this one gets £75 and the top bidder had 3 further overbids in place.

Condition is poor and it's not even the nicest printing version.

Yes, I have too much time on my hands.

Hilbert - I think these tins have always been sought after with most established collectors owning a good example. Maybe they are becoming scarce these days and maybe there's a new wave of collectors seeking them out - which is good news for our hobby.

Yeah that would be good and I'm sure that's happening to some degree. Have you seen the recent interest in mini figurals. They've always been popular but recent prices are through the roof.

 Hi hilbert,

I agree with richard, its a desirable tin but finding them in good order is a challenge.

Have posted mine which is in reasonable condition.

This one went for £25 a couple of years ago on ebay and I've seen others similar since.

And it is the more detailed version too.

That's what I was thinking about when I posted.
