Panorama Cotton Tea Cup?

I was getting some crap out of the loft yesterday and found this:


Looked it up and read this:

Quote:
Amongst collectors of video game memorabilia the Cotton tea cups are some of the rarest pieces of collectible merchandise.
The Panorama Cotton tea cup is white with no handle and features a brown drawing of Cotton on the cup, with the words "Panorama Cotton". To obtain the cup originally, it was necessary to purchase the game and send in a registration card, before being entered into a random draw. 300 are known to exist.[citation needed]
Could it be worth much? If so who would buy it?

Blimey it's lovely

Not worth anything whatsoever...so you should give it to me lol

Just kidding

They can go for a fair chunk of moola.

Best bet really would be Ebay or try Shmups.com it's a dedicated Shoot Em Up Forum that is seriousl up on their valuations & such
They have a For Sale section & it would be worth putting an Interest Check thread up in there for some general ideas & I can pretty much gaurantee you'll find someon interested over there.

Anyway it's a nice find & I'm pretty jealous.

Oh thanks Neil, I didn't realise it was worth anything (would have thrown it out yesterday if it wasn't so cute)
