Has anyone got one of these?

I've got Pembridge. How rare are we talking? Definitely willing to sell. 

 

He was one of the more common ones back in the 90s but that could be because he wasn't a great seller.

I have him, Hirst, Pressman, Bright and Waddle

A mate of mine used to have these things made in China and hand painted then he 'sold' them through Portsmouth club shop. They were all of Portsmouth players and bore a slight resemblance to the players they were supposed to depict.

 

He thought he would make his fortune, the problem was that to keep his costs down he had to have each figure made in lots of 10,000. I thought he was mad but he was convinced it was a good idea.

 

It all went pear shaped, their new star player left and he'd got thousands of figures left,  players changed their hair style/colour etc. Worst of all he was supplying them to the club shop as that was about the only way he could market them, they wanted a big mark up and sale or return.. It didn't matter because they never paid him for what they sold.

 

He lost thousands, I've no idea if he ever managed to shift the rest because we lost touch.

 

(True story).

Totally forgot about these,  I still have the Beatties price tag on one from when I bought them on Pinstone street.

Some were impossible to find but there were plenty of others.

That Sheridan in the box will be worth a lot.

 

Also, Gi' Wayne's plaque back.

 

One on here unboxed for £40

Wow thanks for the link Whitechapel, eye opening prices.

I paid 2.25 for these in 1995 so not a bad mark up, I couldn't part with 'em though.

 

By the way, what does 'Wayne's plaque' mean?

Am I being whooshed? :)

I hope you're still looking after your Sheridan Pulsar?

Prices have shot up in past 6 months, lockdown sent a lot of people retro crazy. I sold Stuart Ripley deftly on eBay for over £30

Anyone with a Pembridge boxed mint now could make some stupid cash. Wish I could find mine I had him about 97 but no idea where it's gone.
