In all honesty, i don't think it'll go for much. The Chinese stuff is super common and was released later than most of their domestic counterparts making it much easier to find. Good luck with auction tho!

Sad but true Pete. Star Wars figures are often viewed in that light as well but with the plethora of uniquely Canadian vintage SW out there, it kind of opened the eyes of the world market a bit and even the common Cdn stuff seems to garner the same, if not slightly lower prices than the US versions.

I think tho, on a whole, early Cdn Joe figures are a lot harder to find than many ESB and later SW figs. In my 13+ years of collecting, i've seen VERY few Cdn Joe figures come up for sale locally...

There is a guy here in town who back in the 80s picked up scads of MOC SW figs when places were blowing them out for 99 cents a pop. At one time he had over 1000 and his since sold most of them off at a slight profit. I've picked up a number of goodies from him over the years and luckily for me, he also bought up quite a few MOC Joe figs as well which i also bought a few years back. So, the point of all that was to say that yes, there were people back in the day buying stuff up and saving it for just such an occasion.

Whyte Knight, Comic Fever and the Antique Mall, which are pretty much the only places to get vintage Joes around town. Unfortunately, there's never anything super great there but they have their moments.

I blame Shane for my recent  start of recollecting Joes.That Locust was too much to resist.I have been buying like crazy every since.

I'm worse than any of those drug dealers your mom's warned you about when you were kids.

Nopw, if you pay for the collector hour, you're in for the day. If you come after noon, you only have to pay $3 and you're in for the day. There should be some GI Joe stuff there (i may have a little bit) and i know of a few other collectors who might be set up with some stuff. Either way, it should be a really good show...

Pete, next year's show should be in March as well...are you in Edmonton often? If so, let me know next time you come around and we'll hook up.
