Putting prices on loose figures from my Dad's collection (1 Viewer)

Are there any sets that I should get to first?
and what is the preferred method for boxing/storing these figures long term. Is bubble wrap acceptable-or will that attack the paint.

Tissue paper then foam or bubble wrap is good. One never knows if the paint will react to plastic or foam. So tissue is a great idea. Also a cool dry place. Heat in attics are death to lead/tin soldiers.

Thanks for the info, they are stored in an unheated house.

I would suggest acid-free tissue paper for long-term storage, otherwise eventually the paper will react with the lead/paint.

If you want to sell the loose figures, I would sort out by same mfg., same poses, same type ( sailors etc.) Take separate photos of each lot. I do not care about the boxes, as long as the soldiers are safely packed for shipping.......Michael
