The ideal buy or sell.

This is a test of photo resolution and my ability with a camera, which is somewhat shaky to say the least!



Pictured is a Corgi State Patrol police car in mint condition with a mint box in the background. I thought I'd devote my second post to an example of the best you can get.



What is the "best" you can collect? Here are some tips:

-The model must be in mint condition with no chips, scratches or marks on the body. The windows must be clear with no cracks or misting.

-Extras such as the whip aerial, must be intact. The sticker (in this case) must be undamaged.

-The wheels and tyres should be as new with no signs of rust on the wheels or wear on the tyres.

- The base plate must be free of rust, scratches or marks.

-The box should show no signs of crush damage, graffiti or missing flaps. On older Corgis and Dinkys a written price adds provenance. Colours on the box should be bright and clear.

-Every item on the model and the box should look as good as new therefore, mint. The model will, obviously, have spent most of its life unplayed with.



This model is one of my favourites simply because it has great paintwork. I don't care too much about values as I don't sell my models but the indicative market price for a model in this condition is about 100 Sterling or 200 dollars.



In my next post I hope to show you some more mint examples as well as some that are a step down from this quality.
