INSTRUCTION SHEETS

For non-Marx playset collectors, it might be hard to understand that these simple two-sided (or more) paper instructions can add at least $80 to the value of a vintage set. Pictured first are the assembly instructions for a valuable Wells Fargo Western Town (the instructions alone are selling for $65 at marxtoyconnection.com )

Not only does their purchase go towards the collectors' goal of putting all the pieces of a set together, but their contents listings prove critical for collectors and researchers to help document the released accessories that came with certain sets. It can be potentially confusing to create a definitive contents list of sets due to the release of special editions, different colors or revised molds used in different years.
