Maybe I can tempt you with my (meager) Bulgarian collection, due to make an appearance on the VBD auction site on this sunday.

Great ones Nick, maybe I can help you out with their values:
- The red Datsun in the blue blister card is pretty valueable mainly due to the card type itself, sadly the glue is darkened possibly by it being no so good quality one - that's rather common seen thing, in some time the blister bubble will just fall;
- The Mazdas here are considerable as they are no longer offered in singles - only way to get one now from the factory is if they have any stock hidden away or in multipacks.
- Chrome plated Ford GT is quite rare one, I don't have information if it is offered in chrome paint anymore. Same goes for the copper plated Datsun, too;
- The rest are pretty common and easier obtainable but still mint pieces.


Anyway, I recently got another Cortina, without one door though, mainly because the offer was very cheap and I got 5 other Macau and England matchbox models. I plan on restoring it, found another one, but I don't feel like paying much for those. Maybe GHOSTHUNTER would of been interested in a blue ROLLS ROYCE that I've seen listed up, the price was OK, but not really my kind of model for the collection and it had few scratches on the front wndow.

Hi there racingFreak,

I did go and look at that blue Rolls-Royce, but do actually have it in the same colour, so thought it best to leave for another collector, but thank's again for bringing it to my attention and the link.
