...were either cataloged before 1975 and/or are otherwise very common. As for the others:
339J Alaska 50' Box car - uncataloged, uncommon
339H Stokley 50' Box car - promo, common
339S Tyco seasons Greetings 50' Box car - uncataloged, not uncommon
no# Shop Rite 50' Boxcar - promo, #339-P, uncommon
no # Allstate Motor Oil Tank car - haven't heard of this one
354C True Value Piggyback Flat - uncataloged, uncommon
357G SOHIO Tripple dome tank - uncataloged regular release, uncommon
361H Tropicana 62' Box car - promo, fairly easy to find
Hope that helps. If you are looking to sell all of those, I might be interested in a couple of them.
Shop-Rite's number is confirmed as I have one in a labeled box.

Rare is all relative. The Sohio tanker and the True Value piggyback are the hardest to find of what you have listed. The rest are somewhat hard to find but definately not rare.
The only cars I don't know about are the Allstate tanker and the Alaska boxcar. I thought the alaska boxcar was a red box era car, maybe it carried over.

I'd appreciate pictures of the Allstate Tank Car and the TYCO Seasons Greetings Box Car.
TYCO's brown with white lettering ALASKA 50' Box Car is included in the Brown Box Era Freight Cars section...

Believe I've seen it in a TYCO Brown Box myself and that is why I included it there. Has anyone got or have seen the ALASKA 50' Box Car in a Red Box?

Hey Guys,
Allstate was the trade name for trains made by Marx,and sold through Sears stores.
Hope this helps.
