Estate Sale - Need Some Help

Maybe there are some Bo Jackson errors in those 1986 Highlights sets. Pretty big money in those...

Feeling ignorant. Which sets are those? Topps? Donruss? What should I look for if I go tomorrow?

Those would be the Donruss Highlights (1986) cases. There should be 15 sets per case - looks like there's at least a few cases there. It's a long shot, but you never know. The Bo Jackson error/variation is the "Highlights" logo on the front of the cards is in white, instead of yellow.

Everything depends on whether you're looking to making a bundle or just pocket-change on a flip, which of course depends on
how much the estate vendors are asking for what's there. We've seen insanely high prices and amazing bargains at such things.

The big-ticket item we think we recognize is #72, the 1981 Namco Galaga. You'll need a truck, though.
The air-hockey and foosball tables (#s 62 and 70) are sure sellers if they're in working order and you sell locally.
Among sports memorabilia and toys and hobby stuff, maybe #74, the framed Favre jersey -- probably a replica but it is auto'd.
The Matchbox cars and case (#133), the Star Wars figures (#136), the 1960s GI Joe stuff (#s 133, 139, 142) -- 12" Joes,
footlockers, Jeep -- are all collectible, and there could be a couple of bucks in the O-gauge track and what looks like
an HO-scale engine (#142).

Is that a football boardgame almost out of sight below the Star Wars figures?

If you are going today, you may want to concentrate on the toys, especially (from the pictures) the following:

2 GI Joes (one 1970-73, the other 1960s). I can date them for you from the patent markings on the buttocks. Also the GI footlockers and accessories, especially the one intact, especially if it has the inner plastic tray.

Oscar Goldman figure (from the Six Million Dollar Man line from Kenner in the mid 1970s)

Mego Fonzie figure (1976-ish); looks like both of the thumbs that upraise are intact. Looks complete; value runs $25-$35

1970s 3 3/4" GI Joe figures and vehicles

1980 He-Man figures

I've been collecting toys for 40+ years, I could probably help you identify some of the stuff. Shoot me a PM.
