Here's yet another niche to keep an eye out for while out hunting this weekend. You've probably seen these at Yard Sales, Church Rummage Sales, and sometimes in Goodwill Shops, many times offered for $1 or less each. But did you realize that these are a hot collectible right now? The "Slow Poke Rodriguez" glass shown here was produced as part of the Looney Tunes Pepsi Collector Series in 1973, and currently brings between $25 - $40 each on Ebay. Other Pepsi series from the 1973 and 1976 Warner Brothers Looney Tunes series range from $8.00 to $20 depending on the rarity. A complete collection of all 18 of the 1973 Glasses will often sell in excess of $200. The glasses shown here above were bought at a Yard Sale last weekend for 50 cents each.
Pepsi also produced a set of 14 "Superhero" glasses in 1976. One set recently sold online for $395. In 1977 a Terrytoons Themed set was released. The Mighty Mouse glass, if in good shape, will bring between $150 and $250.
Another set Pepsi produced was a Disney Themed Series in the 1970s. This "The Rescuers" set of 4 Glasses recently brought $40 (with free shipping) on Ebay!
As a side note, there were also dozens of other advertising glasses produced in the 1970s and 1980s that are NOT bringing over a couple bucks each. And, of course, condition is everything. Even rare glasses are a tough sell if they show excessive wear. When in doubt, smart phones are a valuable tool to search with when in the field!
