Good finds, congrats. Hope you have some kids for those Tonka toys!

BTW- the first record album I ever owned was Abbey Road. Got it to go along with my brand new Sylvania fold-out stereo record player.

These old tonkas are not toys for kids. They are too rare and collectible in this shape...lol

The Doors stuff that's valuable are the 1st presss gold label Elektra mono issues of the debut,Strange Days,Waiting For The Sun,and The Soft Parade(by far the rarest mono press by them).

I got lucky and scored two mono copies of the debut,and a mono record in a stereo cover of Strange Days at a used book store for $2 a piece :^)

I have the same red label.. is it really worth $225 ?

Unfortunately not. 13 by The Doors is a 70s-80s era greatest hits lp. A few bucks is all it's worth,even sealed. I bought a new sealed copy at a Skaggs Alpha Beta grocery store for $2-$3 back in the 80s when I was in high school. That Ebay seller is just plain nuts! Gotta beware when buying on the Bay of E.
 
Good find on the Tonka's. I had the same dump truck when I was growing up at my Grandparents house. It was donated to the Salvation Army in 1999 IIRC.

Sweet!! That truck`s MINT!! I`ll have to figure out where mine are and dig them out. They might be at my dad`s boxed up some place. I also still have all my late 60s-early 70s era Hot Wheels :^) BUT,they`re definitely not mint,they were played with thoroughly haha!
