<p>[QUOTE="mkwelbornjr, post: 1564193, member: 17034"]Now that most of the FM products are long gone. SOme do sell for a premium. Try to find a mint in box diecast model of the 1982 Corvette Collector's Edition in Beign for anywhere close to the $90 issue price. They sell in the $500 range. Certain products from FM have a cult following. There are groups devoted to them. Doll groups on Yahoo...diecast groups like <a href="http://www.diecast.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.diecast.org" rel="nofollow">www.diecast.org</a>. So the generic statement about bad investent does not apply. Also with todays precious metal prices any old FM set with silver or gold in it is definitly selling way above issue price. In the 1970's FM charged about $19 for the average medal with 1.5 ounces of silver. Find any mint today that will charge that for a fully sculpted newly struck piece???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
