    Garage sale grabs/ Info please

    Hit a garage sale that I was passed by today and grabbed a few vintage toys. Looking for some info on a couple of items such as the concert posters and the Hot Wheels playset.

    I don't know if these are repros or not. On the Doors poster it's marked Tribune Showprint Inc. The other has no markings. Any help is appreciated.


    I know nothing about Hot Wheels. Boxed is marked 1974. It's complete but missing the 2 cars.


    A couple other items i grabbed.

    1968 Tudor Ele. Football game. complete. Yellow and white players. Maybe Pitt or LSU?


    SSP Smash Up Derby set 1971. Complete but missing instructions.

        And I had a Smash Up Derby set. I think my cars were different colours though.

          I went to one today....grabbed the DK "James Bond" Encyclopedia for $2, the "Camelot 3000" TPB for .50, and the "Silver Surfer" Fireside Book (By Lee and Kirby) for .50

          I was like two seconds late from putting my hands on the G.I. Joe Astronaut MIB released a few years back for $10

            I'm not an expert by any means, but I'd say those posters are not original.

            Good grab on the toys. I love the smash up derby!

                Both of the posters appear to be repros, the type that can be picked up at flea markets and the like...

                    They just discussed this on Antiques Roadshow in regards to old Magician posters. It seems to be the material it was printed on is the giveaway.

                      That Tudor is one of the first ones. Before they made a deal with the NFL. Iv'e been out of it a while, so I'm not sure if that makes more or less valuable. I just checked and it looks like only certain model/with certain players still do well.
