One careful owner may sell for $1m
The “phenomenal” set of 3,500 Matchbox toys, the product of years of careful collecting by an American doctor, could raise up to a $1 million (€630,000) when they are sold in Middlesbrough in September.
Vectis Auctioneers said the owner, Dr Scott D Gillogly from Atlanta, gathered “the most comprehensive collection ever to be sold and which may never be equalled”.
