What's the going price on the JL collector's club (Team McClearen)?

I have a few and the last I put on ebay did not meet my reserve. Seems these are the rareest JL's as far production numbers, but I have seen some of the others (Oak Ridge Farms, Ford Muscle and S&R) go for as much or more?

BTW, what's up with the guy on ebay who has the JL ORF and FM listed for like $250? Have any of these actually sold? :eek:

i have 8 of the blue matchbox, 6 of the green matchbox, 6 of the purple superfast, 1 hot wheels double packs, 1 hotwheels single yellow, one yellow matchbox. since getting back from my trip i have all the ones i left behind. no, i haven't bought any lately, i know better.......... i will sell some duplicates though.

i never did buy the dozen for jada for sale broncos, but i do still have one extra 5 deep set too.

I would have said $50 - 75, but after seeing yours sell for $93, I'm a bit off. How many more do you have?

I sure hope someone doesn't pay $250 for the FM Bronco. He is also selling a Matchbox Land Rover as an EB. Comparison Land Rover NIP.

I am interested in some JLs, I do not have many of them at this time. I have a number of the jada 5 packs, a few complete sets of match box, brown, blue,green, purple, yellow. As well as a for sale or two in which to trade for some jls.

I'd have to look, but maybe a dozen? The second one I listed did not meet my reserve. I figure I can sit on them for another 2 years until I get my price. I just can't see why the S&R's and other high volume ones are bringing near the same price (even in broken sets with no packaging) ?

We got a McClaren Members JL @ Spring Carlisle a couple of years ago. I don't think he really knew what he had cuz we got it for $9.00.

Yes, I wa excited to see it online, and to think I paid less for it than the collector issue is amazing...

I believe the run is 180, versus the collector edition which is 528 (per Chris- on his site)

Although I thought I paid a bit much for the collector issue it turns out that it wasn't a bad price compared to what folks are asking for it now.

I still am having a hard time getting the last two JL's I am after... I wish I could find them and be done with it ?:?

This sounds like a deal. 2 green MB's for 1 Yellow MB & 1 Yellow Hot Wheels. PM me your mailing address.

They must not have! IIRC, these were $20 each from the JL Collector's Club when they were released.

They were actually $9.95 each, but you had to be a JL Collector Club member (unless you knew the "backdoor") to purchase them. They were said to be limited to 2 per memebership, but their ordering system allowed you to order as many as you wanted. The membership was $19.95 + $5.95 shipping. With the membership you received a newsletter and a special JL car.

Some of this is from memory and some from an email I sent Drew back in December 2005.
