That 40 year old poster from an old toy that nobody loved back in 1979 listed on eBay has been sold.

Listing commenced at US$99 and 2 people bid on the item with only 3 bids, closing the auction at US$159.50.  Nonetheless, it’s astonishing that a double sided piece of paper can fetch such a high price.  The poster isn’t even in colour.  This is one of the higher prices I’ve seen one of these B&W inclusion sheets sell for.

I’m betting the vendor is pleased with this result.  They previously sold a Kenner ALIEN box with no content for US$281.  The combined value of the poster and empty box sold is US$440.50.  This total didn’t even include the toy ALIEN figure that would normally be inside the box.

Expressed as local currency where I live in Australia, this value converts to AU$635.38.  That figure is for combined value of an old empty box and a B&W printed piece of paper.
