    Depends on the condition of the lures and the egg carton. Do you have any pictures?

    The lures are band new, never been fished, the egg carton gave up the ghost 25 years ago, I'll be 80 in a few months, don't do pictures on the computer..

    Yes it is, the egg carton deteriorated years ago, so I put them in a cardboard carton......

    Alright, the original egg carton I figure drove up the price on those, but I don't know how much. There's a guy on here named ALBasser that collects them and could tell you way more than me. Maybe he'll swing in

    Hello ! The Egg carton is the biggest part of the value . A full set of the Big O's could bring 90 , without the Carton . The Lures are actually the second series made .The very first model were the Spot Tail ! Will post a few pictures of my collection . Most all of My Collection is shown a Post in the Want to Buy section here on BBC !
    FB , Cordell Collectables for more of My Collection and Catalog info ...
