My dad came in with some stuff I've never seen before - they are box sets of two cars with micro brewery logos on them (Sun Valley Brewing and North Coast Brewing are the two I'm looking at). They come with certificates of authenticity from the brewers saying they gave permision for Matchbox Collectibles to use their logos for this. They came in generic white cardboard boxes - the number on them is MGB01/B-M.

Does anyone know anything about these?

These came from Matchbox Collectibles and were mail order only items. They were originally pretty expensive at I think $28 or so a set. They were later sold at KB and other liquidators at around $8 a set. Current value is pretty low. I have about 4 or 6 different models. They were very high quality models.

I was able to get 60 of the model on the bottom and remove the beer logo and had Color Comp print personal models for me.

Hey Gunn,

let me look through the boxes, I might be able to hook you up!

I'm over in Kennesaw now, you should swing by!

I have a few sets of the micro brewery trucks that were on sale at a local toy store, These were very common and very inexpensive on ebay a few years ago. They came in two packs in a generic white box. Matchbox also made another set of larger vehicles with beer logos on that were mail only. The complete set were beers from around the world. These, I believe, were 24 for the complete set and they ran about $8.99 + shipping costs. If you agreed to the first one they mailed you the rest every month or so.

here are some flyers for the gb trucks.

Here are some pics of those two.
I have the whole set, and no, I did not find them at a discount store.
There were really pricey, but, a nice set nonetheless.
I believe there were 30 total, and like I said, I bought them all.

Quite all right, we can inform all of the readers of both types
