Estate Collections
Been
collecting for decades and decided
to move? The thought of cleaning
& sorting & packing and/or
disposing of each item from a
decades long collection is a bit
daunting?
Inherit
a collection you know nothing about?
We're the perfect solution! Back in
the "olden days", you'd have to pay
someone to clean out a house and get
it ready for sale. Let us help by
PAYING YOU for the privilege of
cleaning out the house. You won't
have to touch a thing. We'll make an
entire offer as-is. We'll bring our
own packing materials and pack it
all up! What are you waiting for?
Give us a call or send us an
e-mail! Can't hurt!
Modern Pop Culture Statues
The
modern pop culture statue boom
began in the late 80's with DC's
introduction of the very limited
release of the Kent Melton Batman
and Joker statues for the 1989
Batman film (for us, it was love
at first sight!) and a few years
later DC would continue the theme
with the Bowen designed Batman
gargoyle statue! And then the
flood gates opened up! There is no
way to give you a complete,
comprehensive list because there
are soooo many great statues! Take
a look to see some of the specific
statue lines we're looking for:
Walt
Disney Classics Collection - DC
Direct - Sideshow - Hot Toys - Bowen
Designs - Kent Melton and More!
Modern Toys - Post 1979
Yes,
we know. How can something that's
as long ago as 40 years be
considered "modern"? Well, you'll
just have to forgive our old-timey
outlook on things! We're old
enough to have scoured the local
Kay-bee Stores for the 2/$1.00
Kenner Star Wars clearance! So
anything from this point on will
always be "modern" to us! Here's
just some of the toy lines we're
looking for:
Advanced
Dungeons & Dragons - Go-Bots -
He-Man/Masters of the Universe
(MOTU) - Hot Toys - Jurasic Park -

Bravestarr - Neca - Sideshow -
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -
Silverhawks - Thundercats -
Transformers - Video Game Figures -
Voltron - Wrestling Figures (WWE,
WWWF, LJN)
Modern Dolls - Post 1989
For
the longest time, when we heard
the term "American Girl", we
thought solely of the moniker
given to the first Bendable Leg
Barbie doll of 1967 (why she's
termed this is unknown to us). So,
yes, we're a bit clueless about
the modern doll era. But don’t let
that stop you from contacting us
with a collection to sell. We have
sold a few American Girl dolls in
our time. And we’re always looking
to expand our selection and
knowledge. Just be gentle with us!
Some items we’re interested in:
Barbie
(1980’s/1990’s Pink Box, Adult
Collector Series) - Care Bears - Jem
- My Little Pony - Rainbow Brite -
Sailor Moon - She-Ra - Tonner
Monsters
The
Classic Monster movies…we watch
year…after year…after year. Just
so good! And we LOVE all thing
monsters! Let us know what you
have! Although there’s no way to
give you a complete, comprehensive
list (our love of monsters is
insatiable!), take a look to see
some of the specic monster
categories we're looking for:
Universal
Monsters
Dracula
- Frankenstein - Bride of
Frankenstein - Creature From The

artists and so many great songs.

of your “greatest hits”, call
us!!!! Here's some of the music
personalities we're looking for:
Beatles
Elvis
Partridge
Family
Rolling
Stones
KISS
&
More!!!
Pop Culture
Even
if you've never seen a Charlie's
Angels episode, you more than
likely heard of Farrah if you were
around in the 70's. She "broke
through" and into the public
consciousness. Pop culture to us
are people, bands, TV Shows,
Movies, and events that transcend
their initial "media". Although
there's no way to give you a
complete, comprehensive list, take
a look to see some of the specic
pop culture categories we're
looking for:
Stranger
Things - Pokemon - Magic The
Gathering - Dukes of Hazzard -
Charlies Angels - Barbie – GI Joe -
Disney – Star Wars - Star Trek –
Universal Monsters - Super Heroes -
Popular Personalities
Science Fiction (Sci-Fi)
We've
been Sci-Fi fans since we were wee
tykes…Laura's parents even put
Star Trek on “time out” because it
gave her and her sister nightmares
(that flying egg was scary!) But
Star Trek was just the beginning…
There's too many to list them all
here but here is a list of some of
the areas we're looking for:
Alien
- Predator - Lost in Space - Planet
of the Apes - Stranger Things -
Forbidden Planet - Voyage to the
Bottom of the Sea - Robots - Lord of
the Rings - Major Matt Mason -
Shogun Warriors - Star Wars – Star
Trek - Thunderbirds – Captain
Scarlett - Ray Harryhausen -
Transformers - Buck Rogers - Flash
Gordon - Battlestar Galactica
Advertising
Coca
Cola – I’d Like to Teach the World
to Sing! We really should bring
back the song because the world
needs some singing (look it up on
YouTube if you don’t know it!)!
The Coca-cola trademark IS
probably the most recognized
symbol ever and we'd like to buy
collection! Unfortunately, they
over-produced most Coke stuff
since the 90's so we really aren't
looking for most Coke items post
1980. Along with Coca-cola, there
are many more great advertising
trademarks and characters we’d
like to buy! Here's a small
listing of things we're looking
for:
Soda
Pop
Coca-Cola
- Squirt - Dr. Pepper - Diet Dr.
Pepper - Fanta - 7-Up - Pepsi

related, we want it!
Figures - Model Kits - Die Cast
Vehicles - Nodders - Bendys -
Posters - Ceramics - Vending

Peanuts Gang (Snoopy)
No
comic strip character is more
recognizable than Snoopy and the
Peanuts Gang. If you don’t laugh
when you hear the quote “I got a
rock”, you need to buy a TV. They
produced enough merchandise to
fill 100 football fields. If you
need to make some space, contact
us to take it off yours hands!

Hi-Yo
Silver, away! We’re old enough to
have watched and have fond
memories of many westerns…even if
our youngest barely knows who the
Lone Ranger and Tonto are. During
the golden age of Westerns, an
unbelievable amount of merchandise
was produced. If you have some
fond memories you’re downsizing,
contact us!

Animation (Cartoon Folk)
Animated
characters/cartoons have been a
part of our culture since the
advent of motion pictures and then
televsion.
Disney
Led
the way in terms of sound and
feature length tales.
Warner
Bros
Lent
their talents more to animated
shorts stock full of now-iconic
zany characters - including Bugs
Bunny, Daffy Duck, and the rest of
the gang.
Hanna
Barbera
Introduced
economical “budget minded" shows
at the dawn of television - short
on "beauty" but long on humor and
fun.
Modern
Era
While
still available to kids, tailored
more to an adult's sense of humor
and satire (Simpsons, Futurama).
While others would visit worlds of
fantasy and gaming (Pokemon,
Avatar, Anime).
We're
interested in all merchandise
related to these ventures. From
Bugs Bunny to Casper The Friendly
Ghost to the Flintstones to the
Jetsons to Popeye to the Simpsons
to Pinky and the Brain to Rick and
Morty.
Toys
- Animation Cells - Lunch Boxes
We're
especially interested in 1960's
merchandize and things from the
now defunct Warner Bros Gallery
and Studio Store.
Star Trek/Star Wars
One
of these franchises is approaching
half a century old. The other over
half a century. And, we’ve watched
them all!!! Both have produced
content in every form of
merchandise one can think of.
Whether
your tastes lean toward The Force
or you part ways with friends
wishing them to Live Long and
Prosper, we are open to buying any
and all of it! Our tastes lean to
toys of course - but there is so
much more!
Lunch
Boxes - Movie Posters - Magazines -
Video Games - Statues - Action
Figures - Toys

expand further into them. Some of

Vintage Sports
We're
not sports fanatics - but our kids
are. Sometimes we wonder where
they came from! Before our kids
came along, we'd never have a game
on at our house. Oh, we had no
problem putting on a game when a
relative or friend came over, but
we never did for ourselves. And
yet we've always had an affinity
for the sports toys of yesteryear.
Some of those items are:
Hartland
Football and baseball players -
Action Team Mates - Aurora Models'
Sports Kits - McFarlane Toys
We're
looking for most sports related
items. Have a collection to get
rid of? Give us a call!
Trading Cards -
Sports/Non-Sports
Lunch Boxes
We
know - why combine these
categories? Because it's fun to -
and we can! We love the images and
themes that were represented in
trading cards sets. From Baseball
cards of Mickey Mantle and Willie
Mays to Non-Sport card sets of
Mars Attacks and even, yes,
Garbage Pail Kids. Packs of cards
cost little and were so fun to try
to amass complete sets. And what
bettter way to transport them
around than in a Munsters lunch
box! If you have any lying around,
give us a shout. We're looking for
most character lunch boxes and
most trading card sets.

Andy Capp
Andy
Capp was created by Reg Smythe in
1957. His name was a pun on
"handicap" (for we Americans who
miss the pun, say it with a
Northern England or Cockney accent
- hint: drop the "H" sound) for
Reg's love of horse racing. Long
before the current too-PC world we
live in, Andy was a smoking,
drinking, job-dodging laze about
who, like his contemporary Ralph
Kramden, threatened his wife with
physical violence - but was
married to no push over. Flo -
like Ralph's Alice - was truly his
"better" half; never backing down
and always making sure Andy knew
his place. The female 1/2 of L
& L fell in love with this
character in the 1970's and still
has a fondness for the rascal.
Laura has amassed quite the
collection of Andy memorabilia.
But she's always looking for more!
If you happen to have any Andy
Capp items, drop us line! We're
looking for just about anything
with Andy's image on it that we
don't have.
We're a true "Mom and Pop" store!
Claims that one pays "the absolute best prices" and "can beat any other offer!" are ridiculous come ons. We don't do that. We will say that we offer a fair price and we're not pushy sales people. You get real people who bring expertise and honesty to you.
Cash payment! No waiting for a check!
We are happy to travel to purchase collections. With the time and expense to travel, we'll need to firm up a purchase beforehand. If you're in the San Francisco, San Jose - possibly even Sacramento area - of Northern California, we may agree to meet without every i dotted and t crossed. Contact us for more specific inquiries.
Yes....that's us in the picture. You'll find us no less enthusiastic than we were then. We just really love doing this! We appreciate your time and trust!

& Louie - Circa Early 1990's
