i have a 3 roll pack of 'Star Trek TNG sherbert filled fruit flavour sweets' and i was wondering if anyone could help me find out how much they are worth. it is unopened with the 3 packets still inside (although way out of date) on the back it says it is copyright 1997 all rights reserved WM McKinney & Sons Autorised User. on the front it has a picture of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D next to a gold version of the ST: TNG logo
oh yeh and the weight on the side reads 120g

thanks

Welcome to Ascifi, kylestargater

I suspect the value of your sweets is rather less than the price on the packet.

Typically for this sort of stuff to gain a value, you need to be at the least the Great Grandson of whoever had it and only then if there is a big story behind it. I saw an article a few months ago of a complete Crimean War ration kit, still sealed in it's tin, selling for just over £100 at Sotherbys.

Toys, complete with packaging, or comics in pristine condition, would be very different!

May I suggest having a look at what some of the fan stores like Infinitely Better or StarTrek.com have on offer?

Then put anything you have in a safe place for the next fifty years?

The comics appear to fetch between £1 and £30 depending upon edition and condition looking at The Comic Box
