ERTL Sticker face thomas - ROCKINATOR - 08-16-2015
Found a ERTL sticker face Thomas at a flea market today. Anyone know what the going rate on ebay Is? Help would be appreciated. Used a matchbox for comparison on sizes
(I paid $3.50 CAD for him 3 US ish)

No idea of the going rate, but I have a similar Percy (if I recall correctly) that came with a batch of tomy gear

That is one of the legendarily rare Sticker Face ERTL Thomas die-cast characters.
Pricing for those can be crazy, as I've seen some bids skyrocket well into the triple digits.
In regards to starting price, browse eBay.com first and see what would be a good beginning bid prior to listing it. Finding one of these, particularly where the face is in such good condition, can lead to a somewhat literal goldmine if collectors want it that badly.

Hank,
I have NO intentions on selling it. I've seen the prices on eBay, and when I seen it at the flea market with a 3.50$ price tag on it, i snagged it up as fast as I could. And I never had any ertls before my dad thought I was a nut. But afterwards I showed him some other ertls that were plastic faced and explained how this was much rarer and could be a goldmine if you wanted it to be. I was only wondering the price as I could not find one on eBay and this was the first time I Searched for him. So I was just wondering the going rate as my dad wanted to know.

Maybe I should take better care of my Percy then, I just got him sitting on top my printer with a couple of other Ertl's that came in the job lot as I don't really collect those (yet)...
RE: ERTL Sticker face thomas - Ucwepn - 08-17-2015
you paid the correct price for a sticker face in that condition.
RE: ERTL Sticker face thomas - Ucwepn - 08-17-2015
I have since wrapped up and packed away my 10 ertl metallic paint engines (the full set) I value them at around $500 or so.

I was curious as to these neat Ertls so a quick search on Ebay revealed this one...

RE: ERTL Sticker face thomas - Nigels - 08-18-2015
Yeah, they don't seem to command a great price in the UK which is why I was a bit surprised to hear they could be worth so much on eBay.com
Personally I wouldn't collect them in that condition regardless of the rarity it goes against my asthetic tastes lol
Curiously I just found this listed (BNIP);
Sticker Face Percy BNIP £10

I got a sticker face Edward nib on eBay for $10.99 a used one would be worth about 6 or 4 dollars
