I was cleaning out my studio and ran across my old Matchbox Cars from when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. Are these worth anything? Most are in decent shape. A couple not so good. None are mint. Thanks, John.
As a volume here I offer you $30 for all 29 together in the 2 boxes. My young grandson has an early interest in these, I only kept five that my son had.
I would do my homework on Ebay if I were you. Even in played with condition you're able to get at least $3 or $4 each. especialy #42 is pretty rare to find WITH original hunter and dog and if I see it correctly those are in the back of the model
Ditto to what Noel said and maybe more depending on the week you look. Would add #62 Rentaset with decals intact looks good and #32 jag appears in good enough shape...got something just with that and a quick look--case included?

Well, it is time to down size. Was in the attic the other day and found my old steel trucks and matchbox cars. My dad started collecting for me in the late 50's when he went Atlantic City. I have the whole 1962 and 1963 series, plus the two story Esso gas station that I see is listed in Charlie Mack's 2002 book for $350-500. I would like to get the true value out of the cars, but I know I won't. I will not give them away either. Some are priced in the $500 range. I am looking for serious buyers. Let me know if interested.
