Kresge, what's the cheapest?

[MegoNinja]

Hey guys,

I would like to know what is the cheapest Kresge MOC mego that I can get in good condition? I would love to have just one Kresge in my collection just to show the variants of the mego packaging.
I am guessing spiderman would be but I could be wrong.
which is the cheapest and how much do they go for?

[Blue Meanie]

It all depends on what Kresge's you are interested in. WGSH Kresges are the most expensive...but for about 50 - 100 you could probably get some of the Western Kresge figures. Don't know if that answers your question.

[Megospidey]

I can tell you for a fact that spiderman won't be the cheapest :wink: He may be the most common loose figure, but he is TOUGH to find on a Kresge card for a decent price.

The last one on eBay went for over $1000

[palitoy]

Roberto is right on the American West, the WGSH side of things I'd say Tarzan or Penguin.

[MegoNinja]

sorry I wasnt more specific, yes, I meant WGSH. Tarzan and Penguin then, how much do they go for?

[MegoNinja]

bump..

[DCSTING]

I recently sold a Kresge Penguin for $200.00 The condition of the card was rough. My Kresge Tarzan cost me around $500.00.
Hope that helps.

[MegoNinja]

yes it does. I figured 200-500 is what they would be, I will be sure to add a Kresge Penguin to my collection.
thanks for all the help guys.

A Kresge Penguin languished on Ebay not too long ago but I offer this one piece of advice, don't be afraid to go after any Kresge you see.

Too many times in the last five years I've given up and thought "it'll go too high" only to be completely aggrevated by the outcome being something I could easily afford. I'm talking Batman and Robin here!

Here is a great example of an affordable A List character Kresge card. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Mego-8-RARE-Kresge-Carded-Batgirl-Batman-ALL-ORIGINAL_W0QQitemZ150194117620QQihZ005QQcategoryZ1 169QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

of course the condition will be a major factor but ive bought a few for $100-$200 each, not mint & couple were resealed but still fantastic to look at & very rare my Mr Myx, Penguin, Riddler, Tarzan, Batgirl & just got catwoman I found them all for around this range.

There are some fantastric ones Vinny has for sale on ebay right now for the other end of condition spectrum- see his post under auctions

That's definitely a sweet piece

[MegoNinja]

reseals are just filth.
I don't think I'll waste my money on reseals but it is nice to know that some where in the ever expanding universe that there exist Kresge's that are less than $1000.
thanks again for the help guys.

[Brent]

wow post a repsonse & get insulted Thanks

[JDeRouen]

I agree, that was a little harsh.

[MegoNinja]

wow post a repsonse & get insulted Thanks
ok so maybe I said it wrong.

Sorry if I sounded insulting, I know some Kresges are hard to get even if they are resealed. Just in my opinion I don't like reseals, I am sure your collection is very nice.
Sorry if there are any hard feelings.

[palitoy]

About half of my Kresges are resealed.

[MegoNinja]

perhaps then I have underestimated how hard it is to find them in their original seal.
Brent, I fully apologize I did not realize what a big deal it was to try and get them in their original condition, you must understand I am a Kresge noob.

thanks again for the info guys as well.

Oh man! How did I miss that one...I even remember seeing it! I would have paid that for a loose mint Batgirl...much less with a Kresge card...faded or not!

Doh!

[palitoy]

It's not over yet Dan. Double D'oh! ;)

[JDeRouen]

I had a small collection of Kresges before I sold them all off;

1) RM Robin w/ yellow shorts
2) RC Batman
3) Supergirl (sold to Brian - resealed - still have this one Brian?)
4) Mr. Myxie (resealed)
5) Superman (resealed)
6) Penguin
7) Joker (resealed)

[palitoy]

3) Supergirl (sold to Brian - resealed - still have this one Brian?)
4) Mr. Myxie (resealed)

Yep I still have both of these. For a while I had your RC Batman too but I sold it because there was something I wanted more and frankly, I wanted a molded cowl Batman more. I know that's probably sacrelidge to some but I gotta be me....

For what it's worth, I've always preferred the molded cowl Batman over the RC version, too.

[palitoy]

Molded Cowl is what I had as a kid. I never knew about RC Batman until I was 15, a ten year at a comic store I worked at told me his brother had one. I didn't believe him, so he brought it in and then wouldn't sell it to me. ;)

[JDeRouen]

It's funny, the first Megos I had were the RC Batman and RM Robin, so I've always thought of that as the perennial Megos. It bothered me to no end when, as I child, I could never find the "real" Batman and Robin once I'd lost or destroyed the first pair I had!

Hey, that's Greg's Kresge Batgirl. With that horse shoe, rabbit's foot, or whatever other good luck charm he has, it will likely sell for $8,548 or some absurd amount like that!

I feel the same way. I am now the owner of that RC Batman but if I had my choice, I would take the molded cowl Kresge. I love the piece but like you said, thats what I remember seeing as a kid so I am drawn to that more.
