I have always liked this Matchbox cardboard roadway set but I've never had one. I want to grab one of these sometime...

I haven't followed prices on these sets the last 3 years. They were selling for under $50. I can't let a fair price stop me from buying something, but the $100 is likely too high...

Ben, I would not use this as part of a train layout. I think it would make a nice display for my old Regular Wheels Matchbox cars & truck.
