Vintage Breyer

60s to 80s vintage toy Collecting

Toy buyers once ignored toys less than thirty years old, but nowadays even some from the eightys are moving – often faster than the older ones. Baby boomers make up a good percentage of today’s toy buyers, and they’er after the ones they remember as children.

Battery – operated toys from japan literally flooded the market during the fiftys and sixties. But they were especially vulnerable to abuse, batteries leaked and caused corrosion, and kids loved to grab them up and repress their actions. Though they were once plentiful, most of them were eventually thrown away, so any that you can find today in good condition is certainly worth buying, if the price is right. The best ones are those capable of three or more actions. Common examples can average sixty to one hundred, but some of the rare ones may go for several Hundred.

Built- up models are worth fifteen to about twenty five, but Wonder Woman from 1965 may go foras much as two hundred and fifty dollars. The Incredible Hulk (1966-1968) is worth one hundred to one hundred and fifty.

Slot cars are a hot item. HO Scale Aurora cars in mint condition often sell for twenty five to forty dollars and up. Monster toys and Transformers are big news. Tonka trucks, GI Joes and Captain America, Robots and Monsters are all sought after. Marx playsets, Hartland and Breyer Horses, games and puzzles featuring tv characters, Matchbox cars and trucks, celebrity paper dolls and coloring books – these are the toys that are moving today ( just look at my site http://www.anscollectibles.com to find out more.). They don’t

Have to be old, in fact, models of the cars driven by famous Nascar race winners made as recently as 1992 are already being seen with prices of ten to twenty dollars. Just to point out age isn’t everything.
