Point of sale material is always popular with collectors. Most of it ends up in the bin, but looks great alongside all the trains etc. I liberated this piece from a model shop for a fiver. Yes, I paid for something out-of-date that should go in the bin.
Worse, I then bent it carrying the thing by catching it in a doorway while carrying it out of the house. It's not badly damaged, but the corrugated plastic board folded and now there is a slight crease line on the front and back face. I'm annoyed, but I can live with it.
When they announced plans for the anniversary, Hornby showed us gentlemen of the press a whole range of POS pieces. I'm still looking out for a "shelf wobbler"!
So, look out for this stuff. Squirrel it away for the future. In a few year, when most is in the bin, collectors will shell out for it. In terms of investment potential, it's better than Dublo tinplate nowadays.
If you're collecting posters and foam backed signs, this poses a question:
ReplyDeleteDo you have any plans to visit an art shop - or even "The Works" - and get a suitable size portfolio?
Just a thought ... .
