6 tips on what to look before buying vintage toys.

1. Is it original? 

Fakes and counterfeits vintage toys are a big headache for collectors.

Before spending an amount of your hard earned money in a vintage toy, you want to make sure that is the real thing.

2. Condition is key

Condition of the toy is another important element that can affect the price.

Collectors are looking for mint condition toys, with mint condition boxes.

3. The importance of era

With the declining of value in traditional Dolls markets, 1960s/1970s fashion dolls are becoming increasingly popular.

4. The wow factor 

Collectors always looking for that extra factor…The X-Factor.

A special edition Furby signed by the creator, a rookie card of Lionel Messi, or the first comic book appearance of Superman can have the wow factor a collector is looking for.

Sometimes the wow factor is just how the toy looks.

5. What’s in demand?

Action figures like Action-Man, TMNT or He-Man are few of the toys with a high demand.
