Description
**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
Dive into a treasure trove of mid-20th century hobbies with this extensive collection of vintage toy and model kit ephemera! This large lot features a wide variety of paper items including instruction sheets, consumer and dealer catalogs, hobby magazines, pamphlets, and technical data sheets. It encompasses beloved manufacturers such as Monogram, Revell, Strombecker, K&B, and Erector, showcasing the rich history of model car kits, slot car racing, and model railroading. Highlights include specific instruction sheets for sought-after models like the Chaparral, Lola GT, and Ferrari GTO, making it a must-have for collectors looking to complete their vintage kits. The collection reflects age-related wear common to papers from the 1950s to 1970s, with various conditions that tell their own story. This lot promises wide appeal among hobbyists and collectors alike, drawing interest from both nostalgia and the model-building enthusiasm that surged in the '60s.
Checkout & Payment:
After the auction you can checkout two ways: Pay the invoice via Live Auctioneers/Proxibid or pay via the Lodestar Auctions website. Credit card fees apply both ways. 2.9% & $0.30 (4.4% & $0.30 international) through Lodestar Auctions and 4-5% through Live Auctioneers/Proxibid . Lodestar Auctions collects 7% sales tax for Illinois residents only. Live Auctioneers/Proxibid collects sales tax for most states. Check with them for sales rates for your state. Any unpaid items will be automatically charged by Live Auctioneers/Proxibid three days after end of auction. At checkout pay for the item only, shipping will be billed later. See below for shipping options to choose at checkout.
Shipping:
Pick up and buyer arranged shipping is always welcome. We offer in-house shipping for items that can ship through common carrier. All items will be professionally packed at a reasonable rate. If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.
**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
Issues:
All items sold as is. We do our best to describe accurately and take plenty of non-touched up photos to best represent the item. Any lost or damaged item due to shipping must go through the carriers. Buyer pays any return shipping costs regardless of situation.
Thanks for your patronage and happy bidding!
