From famous movie posters to dolls, sports apparel to bullion coins, there is a market for any and everything these days. Anything that is considered rare and is desired by others can become collectible. Not all old things should end up in the trash, but also keep in mind that items need to be in good shape if you plan on selling them for a profit. Whether you’ve been saving items from your childhood or your grandfather needs his garage full of cars, coins, and sports merchandise cleaned out, there may be some money in it for you. Here is a list of collectibles that could be worth a lot:

1. Coins 

A rare and authentic coin can actually make you millions of dollars, but you don’t have to invest that much to see a return. If you are just starting out on your coin collection, there are definitely affordable ones. Even coins with minting errors or slight imperfections can go up in value over the years, so hang on to those.

2. Comic books

First edition comic books can also make you quite a chunk of money. Did you know that a single page from a 1984 edition of Spider Man sold for $3.6 million at an auction? It’s time to ask your dad for that stash of comic books he has locked away in the attic.

3. Stamps

Stamp collections are the most common of all. With so many themes, sizes, and features, the options are endless and make them one of the easier investments when it comes to collectibles, especially because they are released so frequently.

4. Dolls and figurines

If you’re up to doing some research on which of your childhood toys is worth something, you could potentially make a killing. Figurines like GI-Joe Manimals, the original Furbo, first generation Optimus Prime, and the original Luke Skywalker. Even books like the first edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone are worth almost $7,000!

5. Sports memorabilia 

Whether it’s jerseys, trading cards, autographed baseballs, or helmets, sports memorabilia are pretty reliable when it comes to being of value. The older they are, the more valuable they can be, regardless of the teams you follow.

6. Movie memorabilia

If you’ve got posters, props, action figures, or celebrity autographs from any blockbuster movies, such as Star Trek, Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, Titanic, Harry Potter, and many more, they can be worth thousands of dollars.
