G.I. Joe

G.I. Joe first burst into the scene in 1964 with a selling price that depended on the version available. For example, you could have gotten the basic version for $2.54 back in 1968 while a talking model was priced at $4.94. On the other hand, a nurse action figure was sold at $5.66 at the time. Fast forward to today and these vintage toys can sell much more than their original price.

Take for example a prototype of the G.I. Joe that was sold for $200,000 at an auction. Others were sold for much less, like the Missile Command Center. This version was sold for $17,500. Go check your toy soldiers to see whether you are sitting on a potential gold mine. After all, some were sold for $10,000 at least. You have to give yourself credit for still keeping the toys you had when you were a kid, don’t you think?
