While digging through more old detritus, I came across an Archie-McPhee
catalog and three still in shrinkwrap, "Computer Voodoo" soft
sculptures. Anyone know what the value of such stuff is?

A lot of people remember Archie McPhee because Archie McPhee is still very
much in business.

Ah, so the computer soft sculptures that I have from them are trashcan
fodder. Gotcha.

If your entire outlook of the world is "high-price sellable artifact" and
"trash", then yes.

No, just that I'm not into voodoo dolls and if it's not worth anything,
I might as well throw it out. The dogs would only eat or destroy the thing.

Suggest a local charity box, so some kid has something to mess with when
his parents can't afford to splurge for christmas.

I have a better idea. When I send something out, if there's empty space
in the box, I'll just use one as packing material.

Chuck agrees. As the distance from the cradle increases and that toward
the grave decreases, one's time tends to be more and more important.
Hence my current bout of house-cleaning.

Early Archie McPhee catalogs, as well as early Jerryco (aka American
Science and Surplus) catalogs have a little big of collectible value.
Not tons - maybe five or ten bucks a pop in good shape.
