I'm sure my sons still have them but no way they are worth anything. They used to set up multiple tracks in our un finished basement back when they were young and have friends over for big races. We must have had a couple hundred feet of track. Lol Edited November 3, 2019 by Big Crappie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some crazy stuff in there,including all of those glasses. Two full time historians run it. They didn’t build the bunker, they just repurposed it. McDonald’s moved downtown and sold that place to the Paul Mitchell company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only sold two buildings to Paul Mitchell. The building I’m talking about was sold to investors and McDonald’s signed a twenty year lease the day it closed. McDonald’s still owns the lodge, and all of that property that Oakbrook uses for the park district on Jorie .McDonald’s real-estate holdings in Oakbrook is still up there.

No idea what to do with them. To go through all of them would be to time consuming. Ditto.....I have 1 box full. Probably not worth a whole lot. I think I might have a Nolan Ryan rookie or 2nd year card in there somewhere that might have some value but condition is probably sub par. Dented corners etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT MXZ XRS Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I have a bunch of old football cards. A bunch of Star Wars and GI Joe stuff. Some Evil Kinevil stuff. Most is in rough shape (besides the football cards) We had no idea these toys would be worth the $ they are now. I remember those Wizzers than Pouts posted. I may still have one of those too somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was moving stuff around in my parents garage this fall and found all them. Right where I put them in 85. I was 15 and we just moved into the “ new” house. I recognize and owned quite a few of those cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
