So I recently came across a bunch of M.I.M.P packaging from the 1990s. What is that worth? No figures. Just original packaging. Any ideas?
What is packaging worth from the 1990s?

If you've got series 1 24 pack boxes then I'd be interested - especially if you're in the UK. They're not worth much though.

I usually won't pay more than $5-10 for packaging, but it depends on what it is.

Stuff looks pretty beat up, so probably not more than $5 for any of it. The cards sell for practically nothing even on Ebay. The backs of the 4 Packs (3rd pic) didn't sell for $0.99 on Ebay (at least not the first time).
Might get a few bucks if the Super Scary 12 packs in the back of pic 1 are on good shape.
Also the checklists probably will get you at least $3-5, maybe $10 on a good day.

yeah i dont see much value here. The checklist, I have a stack of them and sell them for $1 each. At that price they dont sell too well. haha
Those cards in mint shape dont have a lot of value either, so since they are kinda beat up i dont see any value really.
If you sell just sell all together, that would be your best bet.

To be clear you have some really cool stuff. Some great art on some of it and a lot of it would be killer for displaying or even stuffing with figures.
That being said "cool" doesn't always mean "valuable" and most of it is worth almost nothing. So Like Eric said if you are after a few bucks your best bet would be selling it all in one lot and hoping for the best. Parting it out into multiple auctions would be a waste of time.

I don't know much about toy packaging - but I know a tiny bit about cereal boxes. Your Nabisco box if it were in great shape - might fetch between $5-10. You might find a cereal box collector/ MIMP complete-ist that might give you $15 for it. HOWEVER, it looks like it's in REALLY rough shape so I can't imagine anyone giving you more than $2-3 for it. Maybe not even that.
Sorry dude!
BTW - andy53600 mentioned to me in a PM that he was looking for some of the cereal box related MIMP stuff. You might want to mention the box too him... but again I don't know if it will be worth it because of the condition, but it's worth a SHOT!
Good luck!
PF!

Yeah sorry, same as above I'm afraid matey! I won't be willing to pay for a battered box no matter how cheap it is. Plus the fact, I'm purely concentrating on UK-only cereal promos atm (stuff that was very personal to me in my childhood).
Once I've completed my Nabisco Shreddies Series 3 MIMP however, I'll certainly be looking for the original box to keep those in. Just a matter of how long that's gonna take really......
