Title: KRYPTYX ??? Post by: surferboy on February 13, 2007, 10:52:53 AM gday guys
not sure where the best place was to post this question so here looks as good as any Saw some Holden collecters cards at the markets ( you know the kind of place you pick up genuine imitations at bargain prices to good to be true ) The brand name on them was KRYPTYX. the honest looking stall holder said they have been on the market for a few years but he has only just found them and started selling them there are two sets of editions with lots of cards in each. the cars feature all models of holdens and other holden related pictures ( factory shots etc ) He had them as individual editions, sets of both editions, cards in albums or the seperate editions in collector tin cases Just wondering if anybody has seen them before or has them or knows what they are worth Looked up KRYPTYX on E Bay and found a couple of the cards selling for $4.50 each,... which makes the tinned editions for $50.00 ea seem cheap ???? Do I race out and spend $100.00 on little picture cards or put it towards my MT Gambier Nationals (is going to cost me a fortune ) Fund ???? 8) 8) 8) Title: Re: KRYPTYX ???

They have been around for a few years now. They have different levels of collectability in the sets. Price is determined by the qty made. Basic sets are cheapest with lots made. Then there are limited edition cards that sell for more as individuals. Some of the basic cards look good framed, but other than that I personally don't see the value. My rule of thumb is buy what YOU like. If you are buying them as in investment, I doubt you would see any big return. Certainly since their release, they have not appeared to become more valuable. Hope this helps. Regards Alex |
