Cardinal Industries, Inc. · Toys & Games > Classic Games
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to Early 2000s based on the Cardinal logo style and tin design.
Material
Tin storage container with plastic (urea/resin) dominoes featuring indented painted color dots.
Condition
Very Good. The tin shows minor shelf wear and light scuffing on the edges. Assuming all 55 pieces are present inside, the item is in excellent functional condition.
Demand Level
Moderate. Dominoes are a staple game, but this specific version is modern and widely available, making it a slow flip unless priced competitively.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$8.00 - $15.00 depending on platform and shipping costs.
Estimated Retail Value
$12.00 - $15.00 (Current MSRP for modern equivalent sets)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay 'sold' listings for Cardinal Double 9 sets in tins range from $7.99 to $14.50 plus shipping. Thrift store 'buy' price should be $3 or less to ensure a worthwhile profit margin.
Description
Complete set of 55 Jumbo size Double Nine Dominoes by Cardinal. Features easy-to-read color coded dots. Comes in a durable blue striped collector tin storage case. Perfect for family game nights, Mexican Train, or Chicken Foot.
Key Features
Jumbo size for easy handling, color-coded dots for quick score keeping, and a sturdy tin container for long-term storage.
Authenticity Indicators
Cardinal logo with the red bird is prominent on the lower right corner. High confidence in authenticity; these are mass-produced consumer goods.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface scratches and paint loss on the exterior tin edges. Internal pieces should be checked for completeness (must have 55 dominoes) and any chips in the plastic.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Mercari, or local thrift/consignment. eBay is an option but shipping costs often equal the value of the item.
Selling Tips
Count the dominoes before listing! Verified 'complete' sets sell much faster. Use keywords like 'Family Game Night', 'Color Coded', and 'Travel Case'. If selling locally, bundle with other board games to make the trip worth it for the buyer.
