Does anyone have an estimate on what these older baseplates have sold for,

A gentleman came to the BAYLUG meeting and had 2 that he's interested in
selling.

I see one on BrickLink (bay) for $18, and I'm wondering if that's low or high.

He also has a blue attache case with silver locks that is full or older bricks,
and is wondering what the value of that set is. The case is standard Lego case
blue, and is not in any of the online DBs that I've searched. I suspect it is a
Samsonite set, but I'm not sure. Any help appreciated - I'd like ot make a good
impression on behalf of BAYLUG and all of us...

Thanks,

Paul,

The suitcase is probably a Samsonite set (it may even carry their logo/copyright
somewhere on it). The online DB's are sorely lacking in Samsonite info. I
uploaded pictures of Sam set 502 here:

That gallery also has a picture of a case that looks similar to the Kraft set 4
suitcase. That one does not have silver buckles.

Those pictures are all of the info I have on that particular set. Also remember
that Samsonite was known for plastic luggage during the time they were making
Lego bricks. I'm sure there are a wide variety of mixes between that specialty
and their Lego license.

Let me know if I may be of any further assistance,
Clark

(...) You guys are right on the mark! The Velveeta Kraft Lego set #4 had 321 bricks and shows (in the promotional brochure) to be made of light blue plastic with a matching light blue handle. Upon closer inspection of the small picture, it looks (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.market.appraisal)
