Kinda related but I love watching American Pickers, Frank is a smalls/toys guy. Not sure how much it is scripted but love when they give history or background on the stuff.

What is your purchasing routine, I assume you try to always talk them down off a price? Do the estate sales haggle on prices or are those set?

It seems to me that cars, toys, etc. are most valuable when the people who wanted or owned them as a kid finally get old enough that they have the money to buy them. So whatever was cool when a 50-60 year old guy was young is going to be valuable.

Love your posts. Keep 'em coming.

I don’t know what’s more impressive, the fact that you find these LEGO sets, or the fact that all of the pieces are there.

I know you had the one with the missing wheel, but it was in the box and everything was sealed so I’m counting that as intact.
