Third in the Series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
Matchbox Toys in the Eighties demonstrated the most aggressive marketing tactics ever for these long-time toy favorites. Under the auspices of Universal Holding Company of Hong Kong, Matchbox expanded the number of variations, and issued many collector specialty issues to promote the adult collectibles side of the market. This third book in the four-book series is an exhaustive study of "The World's Favorite Collectible Toys." Separate photo, variation, and values sections are a compromise that is easily tolerated by most serious collectors.
