LEGO 005 Basic Building Set in Cardboard was a 53 piece Classic set released in 1965. It was the European version and released in Europe and the United Kingdom.
Basic Building Set in Cardboard is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 005-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,643 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $230.40 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Basic Building Set in Cardboard is a very old set from 1965, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.
