Auction Prices

From Morphy Auctions: "The power of postwar playthings in the current marketplace was driven home repeatedly with the prices paid for boxed playsets. A Marx Untouchables playset based on the popular TV G-man show brought $2,475 (estimate $200-300), a Sears-issued Battleground Europe playset with World War II theme made $2,750 (estimate $1,000-1,500); and a Marx Rifleman Ranch, based on the Chuck Connors TV series, achieved $3,575 (estimate $700-1,000). The big winner, however, was a Marx Johnny Ringo Western Frontier playset. In spite of its lacking several accessory pieces, the rare set estimated at $2,000-3,000 ignited a bidding war, finishing at an unbelievable $6,500."
