I need some collectors advice/help/opinions please. I have the opportunity to own a styrofoam Cup pressurized to miniature that went down on a dive to the Titanic.


What would one of these be worth?? (Not that I'd ever sell it but I know how much I'd have to pay for it).

Thanks for any advice/comments/help/opinions/etc.




Also wanted to mention, I hope this is the right place to post this topic, it did say on the main forum page "collectibles etc. "

Hello, I think it has a change to be authentic however i never heard of it. Secondly because it is a reproduced item it could be easily faked.

To this reason i would give what ever it is worth depending on who sells it, and how credible that person is. I advise facial contact

The most dives to the Titanic are operated by MIR. So some one selling you this kind of an item had to go down there some way or another.

I saw it on a video, where they took the cup down to the wreck while attached to a MIR. All the crew signed the cup which got compressed to the size of a thimble due to the waterpressure. If that is the one you are willing to buy I'd say $1000 is a fair pricetag....

$1000 for a styromfoam cup? what is this world coming to?
heck for a thousand dollars. go for it. after all. if it isn't authentic u've still got a styrofoam cup the size of a thimble.lol

It's authentic, I can guarentee you that. I know the people/company that went on the dive and they're willing to sell me it for what I now see a rather good price (less than $1000).


Now to talk to my husband...

I wouldn't make the mistake giving a 1000 dollar for foam. There is no adhesive to the titanic besides that video. And buyers are always wary of possible show up's of duplicate items.

Its not old, its has a chance of becoming not unique in the future and the material is basicly cheap. This is why one would sell it at that kind of a price, and not 10,000.

I would give it 200 $ just for the thril really mean it.

yeah ozones idea seems sensible

$2000 is alot of money for such a thing as that
