Do you reckon the woolie and worth teddys may be worth anything in years to come?

[WoWo]

no

Hi, 4get. It depends upon what you mean by "years to come" doesn't it?.......In five years: no.....in twenty years: no....in fifty: doubt it, but maybe......in two-hundred: yes.

ha ha good because I bought my ex some and as long as he's not around to rake in the money I dont care

I don't know about teddies, but in the 60s Woolies sold their own label cover versions of pop records. They were poor and few bought them, but I understand they are collectible and worth more than the popular versions!!

Talking about the 'worth' of collectibles, I like the old example that goes: you have a cup and saucer set with a picture of a black cat on the cup. The set was made in Japan in 1949 and belonged to your grandmother....what is it worth?

To most people: nothing.
To collectors of cup and saucer sets: 1 pound.
To collectors of Japenese c/s sets: 2 pounds.
To collectors of Japanese c/s sets with cats on: 3 pounds.
To collectors of Japanese c/s sets with black cats on: 4 pounds.
To collectors of Japanese c/s sets with black cats on made during the American Occupation: 10 pounds!
To you, it's probably priceless!!
