EEK!!!!... MICE!

 

It seems that the Pepsi Mighty Mouse (2nd from left) glass has been the "Holy Grail" of the Pepsi cartoon glass collectors for as long as I can remember. I believe the reverence started with some of the west coast collectors in the early 80's. The late Dave Cole and Les Chapman were both advanced collectors of Pepsi glasses long before the price guides and newsletters were available. They would tell the story of how the Mighty Mouse Pepsi glasses were only available at two or three Taco Bell restaurants in Northern California. It is by far the most expensive of the released Pepsi cartoon glasses with the Pepsi Space Mouse (far right of photo) glass coming in second.

The interest in the Pepsi glass has rubbed off on other Mighty Mouse glasses too. The Australian Monkeys of Melbourne version (far left of photo) is highest priced of these issues too. Collectors have often pushed the price of this glass to over $150 at times. The 1940's Mighty Mouse glass (2nd from right) is probably the hardest to find of the four glasses pictured, although not the most expensive. It is part of a set of six glasses that were issued as a box set in the forties. All these items are available in the current CGN auction that closes on October 23, 1999.
