Auction Surprise

260+ vintage beer bottles sitting on a wall,
And if one vintage beer bottle should accidentally fall,
There’d be one upset beer collector climbing the wall.

This collection of more than 260 sealed beer bottles is from breweries all over the world, but mostly from the United States. The 1940s may be considered “vintage” by some people but I doubt that older buyers would be impressed.

While beer can age up to 30 years, it’s shelf life is usually much shorter. The seller warns that this collection is not fit for drinking, however, sealed bottles are worth more than empties, and that’s why the starting bid is $1,300.

Elvis collectors are passionate about the King, and they rarely sell their entire collection. That painful task is usually done by a relative after they have passed away, as in this case.

This collection has decanters, commemorative plates, dolls, games, figurines, posters, and original records. With an an estimated value of up to $10,000, the starting bid is only $2,500. Sure hope they get more than that.

Pocket knives are great collectibles. They are cheap, compact, and come in many interesting designs. This collection of 48 knives shows how true that is.

While they aren’t vintage pocket knives, it’s still a nice collection. Starting bid is $2,800 which works out at nearly $58 each.

I enjoy finding items on eBay that I’ve never seen before, like Hopi Kachina dolls. These wood carved dolls are handmade by Hopi Indians, Native Americans located in northeast Arizona.

This collection of over 200 dolls is great value at $3,800. You could easily pay more for a similar number of boring plastic dolls.

Here are 12 large boxes full of Nascar memorabilia. Over 500 model cars, thousands of cards, autographed items, and even Dale Earnhardt Coca Cola bottles. I assume the driver cutout is included, but it’s not mentioned.

It’s hard to value it all, there are so many different Nascar collectibles. For the cars alone, $7,000 seems reasonable.

Almost the entire Lesney Matchbox Cars 75 series from 1978 is here. Kept in storage for 30 years, each car still has its original box. How cool is that!

The starting bid of $1,250 is a bit pricey for Matchbox cars, but it’s rare to find such a large collection from the early years.
