AudiSee tape books

AudiSee were the Audible of the day. Audio books were somewhat a novelty in the 1970s, which is probably why I only had a couple of them; Voyage to the Centre of the Earth and The War of the Worlds. I think I was bought these to encourage me to read more!

I'm not sure if I've got the tapes - /I have a box full of old mix-tapes so when I get round to digging through them I'll keep an eye out for these items.

I'm not sure what else I can say about these really, other than the titles were well-known



Evel Knievel Super Jet Cycle - What A Cool 70s Toy

This Evel Knievel Super Jet Cycle (not to be confused with the stunt cycle or any other Evel Knievel toy bike) was one of the coolest toys ever!  Plonk Evel on his bike, attach the bike to the red ramp, crank the handle and let it zoom off across the floor!

Me and my brother both had one each and I think we've both still got them (well, I've got mine). Apart from a bit of fading and general wear and tear it's still in decent knick too.Most importantly, it still works so whenever I fancy unleashing the daredevil in me I'll just set up Evel Knievel and launch him on his bike, hurtling across the canyon (well, the floor), hoping he stays upright.


Want to be a daredevil like Evel Knievel? Here's everything you need to get started. 😊

The Ren and Stimpy Show Prismatic Trading Cards

Happy Happy Joy Joy!


Ah,  Ren Höek  and Stimpson J Cat. A mix of the emotionally unstable and sheer stupidity in cartoon format - comedy heaven for little kids, teens, and immature adults alike.

These cards, mad by Topps, came out in 1994 and, being a fan I bought a handful of packs. So, all my packs are opened but for some reason I kept some of the empty packets too. Odd, I know.


What are they worth, Ren?

Well Stimpy, a full set (154 cards + 50 stickers) is likely to fetch in excess of £100. With the programme getting a fresh airing on TV (well, in the UK), and a nostalgic audience, I would expect this to creep up. 
I'll have to dig mine out (not literally) and see how many I had...a and see if I had any Swapsies! 😁

The Crow Trading Cards


Not much to say on this one other than it's an unopened pack of The Crow Official Movie Trading Cards from 1994. The movie, described as a supernatural superhero film, starred Brandon Lee, who was fatally wounded on set.

I've never seen the movie.
