i've got a yellow nos pair , does yellow count ?

I had the opportunity to buy around 10-20 sets of these from Jai for what now is a stupidly cheap price. I didnt!!!

Blue are just as hard to get too.

The last set i saw went for that price so i guess thats the benchmark,. Why not give it a go.

I bet you will offer him £60 though Pete.

So whats the rarest comp 3s???

munners · « **Reply #10 on:** April 26, 2009, 11:16 AM »

Yellows are earliest but these are the hardest.

When i said blue i meant blue comp 3's with this label.

jimmyp · « **Reply #11 on:** April 26, 2009, 11:41 AM »

The last set on ebay went for £120

As always....if someones prepared to pay "X amount" then it's worth that to them.

I bought 2 NOS pairs, release powder still on, Comp III plastic label still attached and still had change from 20 quid.

...mind you, that was 25 years ago in 1984

Been hearing rumblings that Tioga are going to produce a limited run of "Classics" from their original 80's skinwall range including replica labels too.
My brother works/lives in Tokyo and knows a few bike shops quite well, along with their owners & has said this has been on the cards for a while...
Whether or not it will happen who knows. There is surprisingly an old school following even there, although collectors tend to focus on bikes in general rather than just BMX's.

If you're desperate for that old school era correct look...and with the awesome level of skill on here regards decal reproduction (Del

) I dont know why we haven't seen people snap up the NOS "Rainbow" labels and put transfers over them just to achieve that look......
