Are original boxes important for vintage toy values?
Yes, significantly. Original boxes in good condition can double or triple the value of a diecast model or set. We always describe box condition alongside the toy itself.
How do you ship fragile vintage toys?
We work with specialist fragile goods couriers and use professional packing materials. Breakables are individually wrapped and double boxed. Contact us after your purchase for a delivery quote.
