I'm trying to clear out my daughter's bedroom and have found a box of Puppy in my Pocket. My daughter is 28 so they must be from the mid 1990s.
There are about 50, most have cards. Some are the family sets and there are a few accessoriess - podiums, a 'sleeping bag, a pet carrier (like the one you'd take a cat to the vet in).
Can someone explain why there seem to be different styles of card? There seem to be three different styles. With one model we seem to have two models which are exactly the same but two differen style cards.
There are also family groups which I'm manged to sort out but two of the four don't seem to fit into the two baskets I have left - the colours don't match any of the photos I have seen and the dogs don't fit into the indents.
Looking on e-bay they do appear to have a market value. I don't want to con anyone but nor do I want to do my daughter out of any financial gain (especially as she's buying a house at the moment so every pennyis useful). Are they any I should look out for as 'rare'? What's the best thing to do with the collection?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Mel's Mum! The card type differ depending on when and where the puppies were originally purchased. If you have any with non-English writing, I may be interested in buying! If you can post a picture of the families that you can't sort out, maybe we can help? Or describe them? We generally sell single figures for around a dollar each. The cards are around half that.The later numbers (75+) will usually be harder to find and will sell for more. Families are more sought after and can sell for £10-£20, depending on how complete the set is. The rarest pups are Hildy and Buster http://instagram.com/p/CAI0vfPgNbE They recently sold for £521! But remember, they MUST be the colors pictured like you see. Puppies painted other colors are common and won't be worth anything more than a couple dollars each. It might be easiest to sell all together as one lot. These sites might help too 90sinmypocket.com is my site, and the other two belong to piddy . We are both on here quite often so if you have a question just ask! www.90sinmypocket.com/www.flickr.com/photos/68284844@N07/albumswww.myimpspdfs.uk/Good luck! |

Pictures will help us identify if there are any rarities in this lot, there a quite a few card types but foreign language ones are more sought after. Should be able to sort out familiy sets but picture would really help. We shall try our best for you.
