 Significant sales from September 2025.

Mattel Major Matt Mason Action Set

Item number: 286734388933
Ended: September 30, 2025 7:24 AM
Winning bid: $1,000.00 (Free 2-4 day delivery)

Description:
Mattel Major Matt Mason! Sixties Action Set Mason has a slight crease near top of card although plastic unharmed.  Listed as New for still sealed.  Free Shipping for Domestic Buyer. Outside U S Please refer to E-Bay international shipping.

My Take: 
It's been a while since an MMM flight card has been offered. I think this is a pretty decent price - they seem to be getting scarce - this is a nice figure example with red dots and blue straps. The card has a crease along the top - I've seen this before - it's usually from storing the card upright in a box made for magazines that you find in comic book shops.

MATTEL MAJOR MATT MASON MAN IN SPACE JEFF LONG MINT ON CARD NEW OLD STOCK

Item number: 326696559206
Ended: September 10, 2025 8:23 PM
Winning bid: $1,500 ($25.00 USPS Ground Advantage®)

Description:
BEING SOLD AS-IS AS FOUND. PLEASE EXAMINE ALL PICS AND ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO YOUR BID/PURCHASE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS SOME SLIGHT CURLING AT THE CORNERS, A SLIGHT DOUBLE CREASE IN THE UPPER RIGHT SIDE OF THE BACKING CARD AND THE BLISTER HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY CREASED AS IF SOMETHING HEAVY HAD BEEN SET ON TOP OF IT. THE BLISTER APPEARS TO BE FREE OF ANY BREAKS, CRACKS OR SPLITS BUT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE YELLOWED A BIT WITH AGE. THE BLISTER IS STILL FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE UNPUNCHED BACKER CARD WHICH IS STILL VERY BRIGHT AND COLORFUL. THE BACK OF THE CARD DOES SHOW SOME SPOTTING OR FOXING. OVERALL, PROBABLY NOT A BAD EXAMPLE FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN SITTING AROUND FOR ABOUT 57 YEARS. IF THE BLOG INFORMATION IS CORRECT, JEFF LONG IS THE LAST ASTRONAUT RELEASED AND THE RAREST (NUMBERS WISE) OF THE FOUR MATTEL ASTRONAUTS.

SHOULD THIS ITEM SELL, IT WILL BE SHIPPED TO YOU DOUBLE BOXED, INSURED AND REQUIRE A SIGNATURE FOR DELIVERY. SHIPPING FOR ALL OF THAT WILL BE A FLAT $25.00. ANY OVERPAYMENT OF SHIPPING CHARGES WILL BE PROMPTLY REFUNDED. I DO NOT COLLECT SALES TAX SO IF YOU WISH TO PAY BY MONEY ORDER, CERTIFIED CHECK, VENMO OR SOME OTHER ONLINE PAYMENT SERVICE, YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO SO. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT A SNAIL MAIL PAYMENT WILL INCREASE YOUR TURN AROUND TIME FOR DELIVERY. THANK YOU MUCH FOR STOPPING BY AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU SHOULD YOUR SEARCH CONTINUE.

 

My Take: 
This is undoubtedly the nicest packaged Jeff Long I've seen - much nicer than the examples in my collection, especially from the front view it appears minty (from the back you see a crease and staining/foxing). Since a "Best Offer" was accepted it's unclear what the actual purchase price was, but generally sellers will take a 10-20% discount from the offer price - calculating it at an average of 15% the price comes out to be $1,275, reflecting the rarity of a nice packaged Jeff Long.

My Take: 
It's my opinion that unopened accessory paks are undervalued. Most lost much of their rarity due to a find of many unopened cases of an assortment back in 2009. I'm guessing someone really needed this card as the prices is higher than current averages for this pak. 

Mattel Matt Mason Space Buddy Sgt. Storm with Cat Trac

Item number: 116780302254
Ended: September 21, 2025 6:08 PM
Winning bid: $406.00 (Free USPS Ground Advantage®)

Description:
I’m selling a personal collection of items from the past several decades.  The photos serve as my description, so please look at all of them and ask for more prior to bidding. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. There will be more auctions coming.

 

My Take: 
I bid on this one myself - it's been a while since a decent Sgt Storm Cat Trac card has come up for sale on eBay - for some reason it's much more scarce than the other carded figures, with the exception of Jeff Long. I think these just didn't survive as the figure was very popular. This card is a bit dirty but will probably clean up a bit - it appears to have sat in a very dusty closet or attic by the staining. Short description but very nice set of images - you can tell exactly what you'll receive. I believe this is from the same collection as the Doug Davis which closed later (below).

My Take: 
Nice card and a great addition to any MMM collection, you rarely see examples this nice selling on eBay. Short description but very nice set of images - you can tell exactly what you'll receive. I believe this is from the same collection as the Sgt Storm which closed earlier (above). 

1966 MATTEL MAJOR MATT MASON MAN IN SPACE TOY WALLET *RARE*

Item number: 297645242764
Ended: September 21, 2025 12:09 AM
Winning bid: $350.00 ($8.00 USPS Ground Advantage®)

Description:
Here is a vintage original 1966 Mattel MAJOR MATT MASON toy wallet.

 

My Take: 
The description is light but really the great images tell the story. While this might not seem like a high price, the wallet is indeed a very scarce item that rarely comes up for sale. Nice examples (this one has some tears and rusted metal parts which I believe impacted the sale) can exceed $600 so at $350, even in this condition and relatively complete (it's missing the stylus and magic slate which which rarely survive) I think it's a worthwhile example until something better comes along.
