Snoopy- Original Copper Printing Plate-Rare 1974 Snoopy Dog Food Ad – $4,995.00. Find it on eBay (affiliate link).
Rare? Yes. One-of-a-kind? Yes. Worth $5,000? No. There are a lot of great Peanuts collectibles you can buy for five grand. You could buy original Charles Schulz artwork, Everhart prints, Pawlowski sculptures or whole lot of other great Peanuts stuff. Why would anyone spend it on a Snoopy Dog Food Ad Printing Plate that needs a mirror or the original Snoopy ad to really appreciate it?
How much is a Snoopy Dog Food Ad Printing Plate worth?
It’s worth as much as anyone will pay for it. For someone who specializes in dog food, promotional materials or advertisements, I could see them spending, maybe, $50-100 for this. For instance, I met a guy at a flea market selling comic book printing plates with the comic book artwork for $80 a set. It made a great conversation piece. Will those printing plates ever be worth $5,000? Probably not. If it was an incredibly significant piece, such as the first Peanuts comic strip, maybe then you might see people paying more money, but never more than original art by the master himself. Though rare, pieces like this Snoopy Dog Food Ad Printing Plate appeal to a small number of collectors and that should be reflected in the asking price.
