I have a Lego ninjago mask that's worth like $80 with both parts of it. I didn't know how expensive it was until checking my collection a couple days ago.

Not me but my mom. Her great grandmother gave her her "mad money" stash that she'd saved over the years, all in silver dollars. She didn't think much of it, just kept it as a memento.

Turns out it's 300 silver dollars minted between 1900 and 1905; some of them are worth over $1k by themselves.

Outside of a few comics, one of the unexpected items I have is Lego Wall-E. Even unboxed, it goes for several hundred. Don't underestimate retired sets.

I have a game boy game that was worth over $30 (which was fairly high for a game boy game at the time). AVGN made a video on the game and it shot up in price more than tenfold. Though it may have cooled down since I last checked.

I have a Halo 4 gold Master Chief Funko that was exclusive to Blockbuster. My favorite thing about it is that it was before Funko switched to their current style. They used to have details and were cool.

I have an autograph of Jeremy Bulloch as Boba Fett I got when I was like 6. Still framed in my bedroom.

I have season tickets for the Raiders. I had them in Oakland, and we got 1st priority when they moved to Vegas. I jumped at the opportunity bc I knew by Mark Davis moving the team to a tourist destination that there would be demand from both fan bases at every game. My theory is that the extra demand would allow me to sell most games for profit, and I could go to 1-2 /year fully paid with the profit. So far that's worked swimmingly well. I paid the PSL off in year 1 with the profit, and now make ~$3-5k / year selling tickets.

The PSL ran me about $4500/seat and I got 2 seats. They are selling at $30k apiece rn. It's very tempting to sell them for profit, but I enjoy having the ability to go to a few games and making a bit of profit selling the rest.

Yes, I realize I'm a scalper. Yes, I realize I'm part of the reason our home games have so many away fans. Having said that, I really don't care. Mark Davis made a business decision to move the team out of Oakland where we had die hard fans like myself going every week to instead moving to a tourist trap 10 hours away. In turn, I made a business decision to profit from that move.

My copy of Iron Dragon by Mayfair would go for 225 on ebay. It's probably almost at the price point where they'll reprint it... which would be wonderful because it's probably the best Mayfair railgame and I'd love to see it surge in popularity.

My pocket knife costs 200€ but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it. Obviously it's not that valuable anymore especially now that it has my name and the purchase date engraved on it.

I own a Planet Arlia Vegeta Funko Pop. Currently worth approximately $5000 USD.

The 10th anniversary Sonic the hedgehog crystal cube. Bought it on a whim back then, honestly don't even remember what website I got it on, and when I got it I pretty much just kept it in the closet because I never wanted to put it out because I figured one of my cats would knock the damn thing over.

It was actually only a few months ago that I was talking about it when Sonic the hedgehog came up and I decided to Google it and I found out they only made 500 of the fucker.

Nothing crazy relative to some cards but I didn't expect this to be worth much.

I collected Marvel cards back in the 90s and I'm pretty sure I have at least a few that are official "collectors items" now. I've never looked into it very thoroughly since I just kept them in baseball card pages with no other particular protection from the climate, etc, but who knows?
