- Most of the models were manufactured by ERTL, including Custom-built pieces such as a John Deere 425 Hay Cuber and a Number 22 Cotton Picker, with highest value items estimated at £300 to £500 apiece.
- Cheffins associate Ted Shepherd noted this is among the 'most expansive John Deere toy collections' seen, expecting significant interest from collectors both domestically and internationally.
- Interested in tractors from a very young age, Green initially collected tractor leaflets and pamphlets before the 'collecting bug' led him to John Deere toys, and he now focuses on his other Collections.
