COLLECTING Marx

An article on collecting Marx written by Alex Bergman, a staff writer at Manion's Auction House.

Excerpt: "Since many rare playsets can sell for thousands of dollars, collecting seems to be a hard hobby to get into - but there are ways to make it easier. First, look at garage sales and flea markets. Common sets can often be found, like Fort Apache (a cowboys and indians set), for only a few dollars.

Second, start looking for unboxed sets, as they might be made up of parts from other sets. A box in good condition can add 20% to a set’s value, and even more if it is unopened."
