Book Description
Here's the most comprehensive and up-to-date price guide available for the fast-growing field of fast-food collectibles. Includes more than thirty restaurant chains, from Arby's to White Castle, that provide toys as premiums and promotional giveaways to entice youngsters and their parents. Often tied to contemporary film releases, notable sports figures or events, or popular cartoon and comics characters, these promotional giveaways already number in the thousands. In recent years these items, given away “free” when first introduced, have become much sought after, and often valuable, collectibles. Co-authors Robert Sodaro and Alex Malloy, both experts in the contemporary collectibles field, have combined forces to accurately document this increasingly popular collectibles category.

-Up-to-date values for mint in package, mint out of package, individual items, and complete sets.

-Provides tips for locating, collecting, and grading items.
