[For Sale] My collection needs to be broken up - help!

Slash2000 · 04-25-2014, 07:06 PM

I wonder if anyone can help - my mum just sold her house and now I have to take all the boxes of stuff I have been storing there from my childhood. I had many collections including a big turtles collection which I am going to have to slim down, as well as a lot of other stuff (I just threw away about 1000 2000ad, Buster and Beano comics simply because I just don't have the space).

I don't want to throw out my Turtle stuff - but I am not sure if any of it is rare or collectable - is there a price guide for it or anyone that can help?

I will probably end up listing it here as I don't use Ebay.

I have toys, comics (most of which I'll be keeping but I may get rid of the Solson Martial Arts ones), Keyrings, weird stuff, badges, cards, stickers, a plush toy, loads of clippings from mags and the like, posters, Uk comics . .. the list goes on!

Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I will list them on this Thread as I unpack them.

Also I am UK based - so have quite a bit of Hero Turtle stuff.

First thing I have found - an unused Hero Turtles pencil tin from 1990

Pencil case has gone to the charity shop as I discoverede it would cost more to post than it was worth

Just found these:

Joke books and some clippings from boxes

The backing card of a ripoff turtle figure - the figure was traded with another kid

The original UK fan club goodies - complete and unused.

Even if no one wants to buy these you might like to see em.
