There are two types of people in this world: those who keep each and every relic from their childhoods and those who prefer to donate each and ever relic from their childhoods to their local Goodwill stores. While the latter group might score more points in the charity department, it seems that the former might be sitting on stacks of unclaimed cash!

You see, toy collectors the world over are willing to fork over a ton of dough for old games and toys from decades past– the very toys and games that may just be collecting dust in your attic as we speak. Intrigued? Take a gander at the current prices of these collectibles and prepare to be shocked…

1. Where the Wild Things Are (Signed First Edition)

   Most households have a copy of “Where the Wild Things Are” on their bookshelves, but many don’t have a first edition copy from 1963, signed by the famed author, Maurice Sendak. Those that do, though, could sell theirs for upwards of $25,000!

2. DuckTales Gold (NES)

   This promotional item was sent to a lucky 150 Nintendo users back in 2013. Now, this gold-colored DuckTales cartridge is worth a cool $1,300.

3. Princess Bear

   Following the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997, Beanie Babies toymaker, Ty, released the limited edition Princess Bear. Nowadays, mint condition examples of this royal purple plush toy are offered on eBay for roughly $675,000. No kidding!

4. 101 Dalmatians Giga Pet

   Giga Pets might have been the inferior alternative to Tomagotchis back in the ’90s, but it turns out collectors have a soft spot for these virtual animals. Today, the 101 Dalmatians version can be sold for a cool 60 bucks!

5. Cinderella Sheets

   They were THE sheets to show off at slumber parties! Nowadays, the Cinderella set can sell for around $115. Talk about a real-life fairytale!

6. Handmade Original Monopoly Game Set

   Monopoly has been a family game night classic for nearly a century. If you are one of the lucky ones to own an original, handmade edition from 1933, take it to your local appraiser STAT. Believe it or not, similar editions sell at auctions for a whopping $146,500!

7. Furby

   Children of the 1990s undoubtedly remember the Furby, the (creepy) plush toy that liked to chat incessantly. Tiger Electronics made dozens of versions of the iconic toy, and it still has quite the devoted following. It’s not unheard of for mint condition editions to sell for hundreds of dollars. If you are lucky enough to own a jeweled Furby, you could sell yours for a cool one hundred grand!

8. Lite Brite

   Lite Brite, the toy that kept many a budding insomniac occupied after bedtime has quite the devoted following. As a matter of fact, it’s not unheard of for editions from the 1970s to sell for a few hundred bones. Who knew?!

9. Precious Moments Figurines

   We doubt your mom ever let you play with these cute dolls, and for good reason–Precious Moments figurines are fragile AND expensive. The above example, “God Loveth a Cheerful Giver” commands around 250 bucks!

10. Disney Water Ring Game

    Remember this Disney-themed water ring game from the 1980s? Us either, but apparently it sells for a couple of hundred buckaroos on Etsy!

11. American Girl Dolls

    A new American Girl doll will set you back over a hundred dollars, but if you happen to own a discontinued edition, like Molly McEntire, you could resell it for over a grand!

12. Family Fun Fitness Stadium Events (NES)

    Did you purchase the Family Fun Fitness Stadium Events game for NES back in the 1980s, but forget to take it out of the box and play it? If so, yours could be worth $30,000!

13. Barbies

    The Barbie has been a collectible ever since the doll was first introduced in 1959. Nowadays, collectors are willing to shell out upwards of $300,000 for limited edition models!

We can’t wait to hear your take on this list! Are you surprised that these toys and games are worth so much? Do you own any of the items on the list? If so, do you plan on selling them?
