from the "Ohio Muscle" Franklin Mint Limited Edition Muscle Car Collection

According to the original collector- seller, the models in this collection were purchased directly from the Franklin Mint and returned for an exchange if the collector was not happy with their fit & finish.
They were then placed in their own individual model cases which locked them in to keep them virtually dust free and away from the sun! Pet & smoke free household.
I would rate the overall condition of this collection as #-1 or strong #2+, Mint in box or near mint .
The paint finish is like-new as delivered by FM without any incorrect handling causing humidity-based paint rash.
Savvy Franklin Mint collectors accept that these "later", low limited editions (produced towards the end of Franklin Mint production) have acceptable paint finish but not up to Danbury Mint standards of the same period. Having said that, these limited editions are highly sought after today because of their rarity and some have more than tripled in price from the last time I had them available on PhillyMint.com
Most models include hang tags, collectors portfolio, gloves , tool.
Most of the original boxes are in near-mint condition having been purchased directly from a gallery store without postage or USPS/UPS handling.
We proudly present this exceptional muscle car collection to you, Satisfaction Guaranteed, we pay for return postage if you're not happy! I'm confident that once you purchase one, you'll want to come back for more but don't delay! They will sell out fast. OMFM
