While I don’t usually buy from online auction houses, sometimes I find something I just can’t pass up on! I found the mystery bucket that I’ve been searching for the longest time at a reasonable price. While bidding on the Peanuts bucket, I decided to take a chance on a few other auction finds. Let me know how I did on this haul of a Snoopy’s Dream Machine Model Kit, Peanuts plaques from Hallmark, PVC figurines, Peanuts pennants, 1980s portfolios, baseball banks from Japan, and a mystery box trophy thing from Quantasia.

Video Summary
In this video, I’m taking a look at a box of Peanuts treasures I purchased from an online auction. I talk about the extra costs that come with auction house purchases, including buyer’s premiums, taxes, packing fees, and shipping, and whether the items I picked up were worth the final price. The box includes a mix of items going into my shop, items I’m keeping for my own collection, and some unusual pieces that I had never seen before.
Some of the highlights include vintage Hallmark plaques, Snoopy’s Dream Machine, vintage 1980s Peanuts folders, flags and pennants, Determined Productions felt pennants, PVC figures, and a Milton Bradley Snoopy’s Dog House game. I also share some especially fun finds, including the Determined Productions Peanuts baseball team banks from Japan featuring characters like Lucy, Schroeder, Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Linus, and Snoopy. There are plenty of vintage collectibles throughout the box, including some pieces that will be added to my shop and others that are staying in my personal collection.
The biggest mystery of the auction haul is a vintage Peanuts bucket that I’ve been searching for and still have many questions about. It appears to be an early piece with Peanuts artwork, but the exact manufacturer, date, and history are unclear. I also take a closer look at a Quantasia Snoopy roller skating trophy and other unusual finds that show just how many different Peanuts collectibles are out there. Overall, this auction box was full of surprises, and I’m excited to keep researching these mystery pieces and adding them to the CollectPeanuts.com collection.
