1950s Antique Vintage Beistle Halloween Ghostly Stunt and Fortune Game-Unused

This small game that Beistle produced during the 1950s has gotten hard to find. I had once assigned an RSIN of 3 to it, but feel comfortable changing that to a 2. Because many of these stunt games were meant to be pulled apart, the vast majority are used to some degree, making finding an unused one with bright colors a real coup. I see this fine seller has recently offered a number of Beistle games in nice condition.

Pickings are slim this time of year - so be sure to check out the 103 lots comprising this year’s auction when the Preview Period begins this coming Wednesday morning.

Vintage Halloween Beistle Stunt & Fortune Game

The price paid for this was much too high. Produced by Beistle in the mid-1950s, this diminutive Ghostly Stunt and Fortune Game typically trades for $75. Factoring in the jaw-droppingly high price the seller is charging for shipping a wafer-thin piece of cardboard measuring 4x6", I would not have given it a second glance, even when assuming it would sell for the sustainable guide value.
