60s GI JOE Collectors...

[Den82]

Is this lot worth $150?

Couple questions to ask here..:

Is everything here authentic Hasbro..? That yellow flight suit looks pretty cool and I believe is a rare variant (can't tell if it has the vintage side snaps or not..). Do the helmets still have their strap clips unbroken inside..? Some of those items like the helmets and caps are pricey if they're Hasbro stamped and un-scuffed (looks doubtful by the picture..). Most of the stuff looks like knock-offs.

If all the outfits and accessories are vintage Hasbro.., then I'd ask about the knees and any major cracks.

Typically a good deal for those guys are $20 each (less perhaps for 'Lefty' on the left side..), so I'd say around $50-75 would be more appropriate. I haven't bought PH Joes for a while, but I believe the value still holds. It really depends on knowing how authentic the outfits and gear are, most of it looks like junk. The figures can be cleaned up and restored easily by a loving collector.

As mentioned, if nearly all the accessories are knock-offs, I'd say $50 to buy and restore the figures alone, toss the other stuff..

Not worth $150. As was said the yellow jumpsuit may be the more rare version if it's vintage Hasbro, but still the lot is not worth that much.

yeah the yellow suit I believe is the Golden rod version ,which is pretty rare, but that one looks to have some black marker lines, which if that's the case then it's worthless...I'd say more like $75...$100 if you're lucky

[LadyZod]

I agree.

It all depends on whether everything is original.

And how brittle the bodies are. Any stress cracks, etc...

But not worth $150. Even on a good day.

The lady seems open to offers. I'd like to restore the Marine. Seems complete minus the belt?

I was never into the 60s stuff, always found it too generic, but I suddenly think it would be nice to have. The Adventure Team stuff is a bit more to my liking, as it's more whacky and less totally military based.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I am by no means an expert on the subject but I do watch stuff on ebay and would say 150.00 is high....i would say more like 75 - 100 is more ion the ballpark, like Damian said. you can pick up the Joes for 20 to 25 a piece

[MLoudin]

The issue with the marine, looks like some marker stain on the face...

[toys2cool]

yeah you can probably make 2 decent joes out of the lot and the rest would be good for parts...and don't worry about the marine, although he's one of my faves as well, that's probably the cheapest uniform you can find complete on ebay...

Is there any good 60s and 70s GI JOE website that are informative? I'd love to find one that has every GI Joe release in chronological order.

The jumpsuit is the key piece there. That definitely is the rare "goldenrod" jumpsuit. I have a few of them and that's one for sure. They always have the orange material around the zipper. They came with and without side snaps. The tag should read Hasbro Hong Kong. That jumpsuit can go for over $100 if it's in good condition.

Did that come with a figure or sold in an outfit pack? Sorry, I am just learning about the old Joe stuff. I am a child of the 80s.

That suit came with the 1964-65 Action Pilot figure.

They told me she'd take $50. I should go for it, huh?
