Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Space Rocket since January 1964. Medium accuracy
LEGO 801-3 Space Rocket was a 115 piece Samsonite set released in 1964. It was the first Space themed set released by The LEGO Group. The set was released on a cardboard backing.
Space Rocket is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 801-3 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,602 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $137.03 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Space Rocket is a very old set from 1964, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.
