I think (if my memory serves me correctly) someone paid over $300 to get the 1967 Bloomington Gold Vette! I bid on it back then also but didn't go that high. Being both are serial #15 it would be a shame if they have to be split up.

The first one I ever saw on Ebay, back in 1998, went for over $900. Keep in mind that was back in the "good ol' days" when 1/18 consisted mostly of Ertls, and prices for rarer cars were high. You know, back before dealers ruined Ebay. Back in 1999 I purchased the complete 3-car BG set, matching numbers, for $1500 (not on Ebay). The photos of the BG Vettes you see on the Scale18 list were submitted by me, and they are those same Vettes. About a year later I sensed what was coming in the diecast market and sold the set for the same $1500 and considered myself fortunate. Although Bloomington Gold is a shadow of it's former self, the 3 1/18 Vettes that came out of it still have a special place among Corvette diecast collectors. These are pretty much the "holy grail" of 1/18 Corvettes.

Well, I guess if thats what you like but c'mon, yeah they are nice but they are still Ertl. I mean when diecast were first hitting the market everybody thought Ertl was the bomb, along with Bburago and Maisto but now you can definately see a difference in them lines as compared to say AutoArt or Exoto.
When I bought my GMP #3 I said thats the top. I would never spend anymore than that on a diecast. I used to think I was a collector but not to sure now
