    20 years in the making! The first and most complete reference material of the 1960's pop culture gumball toy hobby that has ever been offered to the public. Original photographs, taken personally by me, of the actual paperwork, toys and display cards from my collection are all on the best quality CD available in the world... Mam-a gold.
    This CD is jam packed full with over 800 pictures of the largest gumball machine header display collection in the world. 99% of this fabulous collection was purchased by me over 25 years ago, from an untouched find that had remained packed away in a climate controlled environment since the 1960's. Each header card was unbelievably still shrink wrapped and packed in boxes, stored away from the light of day! There are no values listed because as you know, today's values are based on supply and demand, which is ever changing since the internet came into existence.
    There is virtually no surviving company records available from these bulk venders of gumball toys. But between the 800+ photographs and almost 150 vending flyers that state the company names, bulk prices, and names of individual toys, there is more than enough information to increase your knowledge. 1960's vending flyers rarely surface for sale. And when they do, the average price is upwards to 0- for just one page. So, multiply that by the number of flyers pictured on this CD, and that's alotta moola!
    Here's a list of how many pictures are in each category: Distributor Flyers(155), Penny Header Cards(74), Nickle Header Cards(72), Dime Header Cards(119) , Popular Character(101), Monsters(40), Rubber(40), Assorted(35), Penny Charms(28), Playset Figures(7), Put Together(8), Toy Rings(80), 1970's Header Cards(61).
    All the photographs & scans have been digitally remastered by me to provide you with the clearest examples for your viewing pleasure. I kept the pictures large so that you can zoom in close to examine a single toy and also for you to print out hard copies, to make your own personal guide if you like. With over 800 large color pictures, it would be economically impossible to produce an affordable book of this magnitude.
    There's something for everybody in this ultimate collection. Here's a partial sample list of what you'll find on this CD : Beatles , Monkees , Marvel & D.C. Superheroes , Green Hornet , Munsters , Apollo Moon Missions , JFK , Monsters , Man From Uncle , Rat Fink , Wacky Packages , Soupy Sales , Martin Luther King Jr. , Space , Rubber Toys , Disney , Jigglers , Trolls, Buttons , Mechanical Toys , Toy Rings & 1000's of penny , nickle & ten cent toys... still attached to their original display cards!
    With 20 years of work invested in this project, I would never waste my time offering it to you on just any old CD. It has been estimated that even factory pressed CDs only last up to 20 years before the data starts to deteriorate. My Mam-a gold CDs have an estimated life span of 300 years! Not only do they have less errors than other CDs but they have a patented Diamond Coating that resists scratches and light hazing, that occurs with other CDs. I have been using them for years to store my rare audio recordings. I guarantee your CD against any defect with a replacement. And each CD is personally signed by me to assure you that you are getting a first generation burn from my master file. I have already sold dozens of dozens of copies to many satisfied buyers. Free shipping too.
