Anyone ever tried selling their old original Top Trumps?

Just wondering what sort of prices you've got or if any of them are particularly rare.

I've also got loads of original 1975 football bubble gum cards and Panini albums and Star Wars bubblegum cards.

Me too (I have supercars (from the 70's)).

Although I never played the proper game until 2 years ago, as a child I used to re-arrange them in order of best to worse car.

lol you want to buy some to complete your collection?

Actually, I just did some research and I think one pack I have is worth 15 quid!!
The rest seem to mainly go for between £2 and £5.

At least I could make a little bit of money and buy more crap.

Oh no, I feel a session on Ebay coming up, I used to LOVE top trumps.

If I could find my cards, hell no I wouldn't sell them!

One of my favorite packs - Tanks was a good one too, and the offroad pack... you were always onto a winner if you had that Lambo 4x4 thing!

I'll take some pics tomorrow and list what I have.

I've tried selling mine, but someone else always has better ones.

The Land Record Holders pack, which you got by buying a bunch of the normal sets and sending the tokens off was also excellent.

Help me out here.

My mate's dad from years ago had his van feature in one of these packs, is it this one?

It's a custom van called 'Challenging'. Was a Bedford van, possibly a V8, with pictures on the side, i think of a Knight in armour. The inside was done up like a dungeon.

Tried to find pictures but never been able to source them. He also had a car which was in a film, called the 'Wat Mobil'.
I've got picures somewhere i'll try and dig out.

I think (and its been a fair few years since I saw them!) but they were mostly all 'funny cars' style hot rods from the USA. But this was the original Waddingtons TopTrumps - there were a few different types of Top Trumps.

The Wat Mobil

[zadumbreion]

Oh yeah - Tanks! And helicopters... they were my favourite two packs...

[The_Jackal]

You cant beat the old 70s Supercar pack with makes like Montiverdi and Sbarro.
Mmmmmmmm, if only it was 16 grand now!!

I trump all your Trumps with Classic BMW Motorbikes from 1923-1973.

[vixen1700]

Had 1 set of these entitled French Cars v British Cars.

Bit of a swizz really when the British cars had an XJ12 & a Rolls Silver Shadow against Citroen GSs & Simcas. , so even if you mixed them up, whoever had the XJ12 would win on everything.

[The_Jackal]

This is pretty old from 77, have got loads of these.
