I was in an "antique" store today that specializes in pop culture stuff. Like toy cars, Coca-Cola and beer related collectibles. They have gunuine antique furnuiture as well but it doesn't seem to be their focus. Anyways back to my subject. I was in there and they had 3 band new Super Mario Trophies made by Hasbro in 1988 for $8 Canadian each. I picked them up thinking I paid exactly what they were worth. Maybe a little less becuase they are sealed. Does anyone else have any of these? This is the first time I have seen them.
Naturally I went to eBay to see how well they sold. I couln't find any current listing but I did find a couple of completed auctions. They don't really give what I suspect is an accurate value as one auction ended very high and the other seemed to be be a helluva a deal. Here they are.

Before someone goes on a tangent pocaiming eBay is not a good place to determine value.. I know that.
To my point. Becuase I didn't know these existed I'm wonding what else is out their from the 80's. I may have to track down a toy price guide and learn a little more about this.
