Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Jeff Schriefer with The Toy Scout joined Galesburg's Morning News on Friday, June 6, 2026, ahead of the organization's two-day buying event in Galesburg. The Toy Scout is at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, 2160 E. Main St., this Saturday and Sunday, buying vintage toys and collectibles on the spot. Admission and parking are free. Schriefer talks about what they're looking for — Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Hot Wheels, comic books, old coins, sports cards, metal lunch boxes, and much more from the mid-1980s and older. He also explains how items are valued, why you shouldn't clean anything before bringing it in, and what the most surprising find in Toy Scout history turned out to be. Hours are Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Toy Scout hotline is (561) 628-1990. More information at toyscout.com.
