Anyone know of a good link that I could use to try and price a small collection of transit tokens I have. There is nothing in the "collectibles/auction" section on Trainboard. I googled what I was looking for but what I got was a site for selling books and lists. E-bay is useless for me cuz I cant find squat for what I am looking for. What I am looking for is something like the "Greenbergs List" where I can see a price or a value to something. TIA Charlie BTW what I mean by "transit tokens" are the small metal coins one would use to pay your fare on the trolley or el or bus in lieu of paying cash money. Tokens were purchased in quantity at a discount. I have some which I believe have some collector value.
Wait, you're saying those CTA tokens I found in my couch might have been worth something still? Off topic, I took the Orange line/Greenline from Midway to Oak Park in August, the reusable cardboard ticket just didn't have the fun of the old Tokens. Something about the sound of it clinking in there. What a weird thing to be nostalgic for.
Transit tokens are categorized as "Exonumia". Try: http://coins.listings.ebay.com/Exonumia_W0QQlopgZ9QQsacatZ3452QQsocmdZListingItemList http://coins.listings.ebay.com/Exonumia_Tokens-Transit_W0QQsacatZ3457QQsocmdZListingItemList http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=exonumia Boxcab E50
