Looney Tunes Pepsi glass question

[Jack]

Anyhow, this guy is willing to give me 10 pepsi glasses for 30 dollars, they include:

Pepe Le Pew
Daffy Duck
Daffy and Taz
Daffy and Porky
Porky and Petunia
Sylvester and Tweety
Bugs Bunny
Foghorn
Cool Cat

Among a couple others, like a 50th anniversary Bugs Bunny glass, he said originally that they are 10 dollars apiece, but to me 110 is a bit steep, so he said he would let me have them all for 30 dollars, is this a good deal?

Jack:D

$30 is actually a pretty good deal for 10 LT glasses ($3 a glass sounds good to me). I don't see anything really rare listed (if only this fella had a Henery Hawk or Slowpoke Rodriguez in the batch...).

Wishes *I* could find that Pepe Le Pew glass...

Is Pepe a tough one? Believe it or not, about ten years ago, I found a Pepe glass in the woods [The black coloring is very faded]. As a kid in the early '70's, I had many of these glasses, both single & double character. One by one, they broke or cracked while in the dishwasher. I still have the Elmer with a big crack running thru it! I pick up replacements when I find them cheap, but I won't pay more than a few bucks for them.

I used to be totally puzzled by one of those glasses; I can remember thinking to myself "Who the hell is Cool Cat?!?!?!?" It wasn't until around '78 [on the Saturday morning "Daffy Duck Show" on NBC] that I "discovered" the late '60's cartoons, and learned who he was......

Well, it's really 11 glasses (he's gonna throw in the 50th anniversary one too). I didn't have any money with me at the time (I was just looking to see if he still had them on the way home from the lake), so I'll go back next weekend when he's open again and get a few, I don't like some of them. I know they'll still be there too, he hasn't sold 'em in three years, in fact, I think that's why he's willing to let them go for 30 bucks when he thinks their real value is well over 100. I particularly liked:

Cool cat, he flies a buzzard like a kite, I suppose that's Beaky
Porky and Daffy
Pepe
Porky and Petunia
Elmer Fudd
The Foghorn/Barnyard/Henery glass
The Sylvester and Tweety glass

I forgot to mention, he has three with Daffy and Taz, I don't particularly like that one though. He also has Muppet, Peanuts, and Disney glasses.

Thanks for responding Jon!

I don't think Pepe is a rare one... I just haven't been able to find one for myself. I know Henery and Slowpoke are the very rare characters to find.

I only have one of the Pepsi glasses with two characters, the one with Coyote and Road Runner, but my favorites are the one character glasses.

Yeah, that is suppossed to be Beaky (he was redesigned like that in the later LT comic books). I can only imagine what an actual cartoon featuring Beaky and Cool Cat would have been like... :D

I have a Bugs Bunny comic book from the late 1960's (bought it new off the reacks myself) that has a blurb in the corner reading "Introducing Cool Cat!"

Both Cool Cat & Merlin the Magic Mouse were used in new back-up stories then. I remember there even being a Bugs Bunny/Cool Cat team-up where they squared off against Elmer & Colonel Rimfire.
