The pictures are taking forever to download, so all I've seen so far is
the picture of the box. My guess is that Gary Istok is going to wet his
pants :-). I also wouldn't be surprised if he suggests you donate more
to the charity. I could see the wood box all by itself being worth what
you paid...
Ok, now I've seen the pictures. It's a real shame the inventory sheet on
the inside of the box is torn. That and the fact that you may not have
all the pieces seem to be the only detriments.
A quick peek on eBay suggests that the cars would easily go for $10
each.
