Nancy Drew's popularity over the last 80+ years has led to a new market for modern collectibles and merchandise. Simon & Schuster has licensed the character and likeness for some great collectible products. Nancy Drew is an expanding brand with many possibilities in store for the future. Check out the current collectibles on the market below and then view recent modern collectibles that are no longer available. For those items no longer in production, you can often find them on eBay. I have a range of some of these items in my Sleuth Shop here at this website for sale!

The Nancy Drew Boardgame Quincy MacShane of Sutherland Games LLC, created the clever Nancy Drew Boardgame and financed it through Kickstarter. It smartly features fun trivia questions from the classic Nancy Drew books and the infamous Nancy Drew silhouette. There were cute playing pieces which were little mystery icon charms. As you answered questions, you collected book card throughout the game. Just released is volume 1 of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, featuring the episode Spring Break Adventure in which "Indy and his girlfriend Nancy Stratemeyer, whose father created the Nancy Drew mystery series, visit the fascinating laboratory of inventor Thomas Edison." Of course this is fictional, as Edward Stratemeyer didn't have a daughter named Nancy, however with the release of these Young Indiana DVDs, the filmmakers put together some really nice companion historical documentaries on the various people and places in the episodes. They put together one on Edward Stratemeyer, "The Mystery of Edward Stratemeyer." Fellow collector and researcher James Keeline and I provided quite a few images for the documentary and are credited. I recommend the DVD, as this is the first documentary put together on Stratemeyer. Click on the banner at left to view more information and order.
