Here’s a sneak peek at an early factory sealed playset from 1983 we have coming up for auction - AFA 80 (none graded higher)!
YO JOE 🇺🇸
Vintage toys are having a moment. You better look in your closet and attic! You might have gold.
Don’t sleep on this category. Graded toys are absolutely hitting right now in the collector community.
1) Nostalgia plays a role.
2) Lifelong fandom and community paired with decades of toys being overlooked / undervalued.
3) Grading coming into prominence across many critical categories beyond trading cards including albums, scripts, magazines, tickets and toys!
4) Licensing truly hit all cylinders in the 1980’s. Those kids are now 40-50 and hitting their earning stride.
5) Scarcity and condition matters.
6) Most toys of this era are played with (rightfully), destroyed over time, tossed.
7) Auction houses like Heritage, Goldin, Sothebys and LCG Auctions (who has lead most of the biggest sales) are embracing the category and toy collecting community.

@toys_retro Grayskull is and will always be the “Holy Grail” of playsets. The highest selling production toy of all time….by a mile , inclusive of all toylines.
