Help collecting McFarlane toys

[JPinstripe]

So I am trying to collect more of these but I am trying to find some more information regarding the items. Such as, how many were made, how rare are they, how valuable are they, etc. I can't find anything that gives me some information like this.. Does anybody know of anything that could help me? What are the most sought after McFarlane MLB toys?

i'd check eBay completed sales

Only figures with known production runs are the CL/Chase figures which are individually #'d. Everything else was produced in crazy mass numbers similar to baseball cards.


As far as most sought after you want to look at the figures that were made back in the heyday of SP's as exclusives to certain events like the All-Star game or the WS Barry Bonds which only 200 were made and were only available via a online lottery process through McFarlane's website at the time.

That said anything made in the last 5+ yrs. isn't woth the plastic it's made of. Production was through the roof while quality went in the toilet.

I used to collect McFarlane figures back when they started. I used to buy every single one of them and I would try to buy the good chase figures. As my collection grew, I was running out of room in our house. I sold most of them on eBay and kept the figures I wanted. I love displaying them with their sports card. Here's a few of mine:

With the McFarlane figures I really like (especially from my favorite teams), I usually buy two: one to open & one to store away in my closet.. lol.
