HONUS WAGNER BASEBALL CARD​

The primary reason the Honus Wagner card is so coveted is its rarity. It was part of the T206 series, a set of baseball cards produced by the American Tobacco Company between 1909 and 1911. While most cards in this series were mass-produced, the Honus Wagner card was pulled from circulation early, making it incredibly scarce. Only around 50 to 60 copies of the card are known to exist today, which has driven its value sky-high.

*I never bothered to look up and see what they're worth because ultimately, value is relative.


SUPERMAN KRYPTO RAY GUN​

Sometimes when you least expect it is when you find AMAZINGLY RARE AND HARD TO FIND vintage toys. Take, for example, this 1940 Superman Krypto Raygun manufactured by Daisy Manufacturing Company. Superman made his debut in June of 1938 in Action Comics #1 which makes this toy, manufactured in 1940, one of the first commercial Superman toys ever produced. Production of this item was extremely limited due to the United States entrance to World War Two just a year later. For that reason these Krypto Raygun are among the rarest and hardest to find vintage Superman collectibles that exist.

Cabbage Patch Kids were one of the most popular toys of the 80s. Over the course of the decade, the dolls reportedly generated about $2 billion in sales.

The dolls were originally invented by a Kentucky artist named Martha Nelson Thomas. Martha first started making them in the early 70s and would “adopt” them out to family and friends. The dolls eventually caught the eye of Xavier Roberts, a Georgia man who ran a gift shop. After Martha denied him permission to sell her dolls, he stole the design and began making his own versions.

Xavier’s dolls, which each had his signature printed on the ass, became wildly successful over the next few years. Their popularity reached its peak in 1983, when shortages of the dolls over the Christmas period led to mini-riots in toy stores across the country. Martha Nelson didn’t make a single penny from her creation.

Michael Jordan's 1998 NBA Finals Sneakers Smash Auction Records​

A pair of Air Jordan's reached new heights Tuesday, breaking the record for the most expensive sneaker ever sold. The sneakers worn by Michael Jordan in the 1998 NBA Finals were auctioned at Sotheby's and sold for $2.2 million. Jordan paired up with Sotheby's in January to auction off 13 pairs of retro sneakers all of which outsold their high estimate of $5,000 multiple times over.

The sales were set to take place during the 'Jordan Year' in reference to Michael Jordan's jersey number, 23. The record-breaking sneakers were worn by Jordan in game two of the finals against the Utah Jazz . Jordan scored 37 points that night on the way to his sixth and final championship.

After the game Jordan signed the shoes and gave them to a ball boy.
