Garbage Pail Kids
they’re like baseball cards but
hilarious one day these will be worth
millions in the mid 80s Garbage Pail
Kids exploded in popularity like an atom
bomb these repulsive and violent trading
cards were made to satirize the cute and
innocent Cabbage Patch Kids which you

those stupid cards where babies are
doing disgusting things uh no the
amazing cards where babies are doing
hysterical things while the cards were
disgusting to say the least
they were also insanely hilarious and
creative yeah there’s been a cut in his

number nine magic cards scrambles plays
a Black Swamp mana card fluffy counters
with a mana card of his own if there
were ever a fantasy based game to give
Dungeons & Dragons a run for its gold
pieces its Magic the Gathering
people collect the cards like baseball
cards and then they play a strategy game
with and it’s kind of like a combination
of poker and chess
growing up chances are you knew a group
of kids that spent their lunch period
trading magic cards of course you
probably know a few adults that
participate in magic tournaments too
it’s planning it out it’s how do you get
there it’s good stopping your opponent
from doing what he wants to while slowly
reeling him in introduced in 1993 this
game has often been described as
cardboard crack and we can see why it
creates a world of its own that’s quite
easy to lose oneself in collecting every
card will cost you a pretty penny but
it’s worth the investment to become the
ultimate planeswalker kill your birds of
paradise that is the
McLaren is
kid number eight Furby there’s no off
button no we’ve talked about this before
you gotta lock them in a closet
remember when Furby was the must-have
holiday gift after they were released in
1998 there wasn’t a kid in the late 90s
that didn’t want this weird owl hamster
robot thing that’s probably why 40
million of them were sold in the first
three years alone it wasn’t just a toy
it was practically a pet that could talk
sleep and even dance with a mind of its
own so our parents spent hundreds of
dollars buying US these furry fuzz balls
and we got sick of them pretty quickly
gotta get one of those Furbies they’ve
turned feral admit it you threw your
Furby against the wall when it wouldn’t
shut up
even if Ferb you is basically a gizmo
knockoff will always have fond memories
of getting one on Christmas morning
gremlins
that’s my foster grandpa Thank You
number seven
troll doll when you wish on a treasure
troll who knows what might happen they
were originally made by a Danish
fisherman in 1959 and while the troll
dolls peaked in popularity during the
early 1960s they’ve maintained success
from the 70s onward I feel it Seinfeld
only what kind of dogs is ours Eliza
DreamWorks Animation even has a trolls
feature film in production starring
Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick
troll dolls are just so hard to resist
with their wide eyes friendly smiles and
crazy hair you just want a brush are we
the only ones concerned they’re naked
though nudity
seriously put on some pants regardless
there will always be something appealing
about these strangely adorable dolls
let’s just pretend trolls never happened
though some may say he’s just a fool our
spell will make that boyfriend cool
number 6 sports cards
Babe Ruth no doubt about it the most
highly touted player in the history of
the game his earliest card from 1914 in
terrible condition albeit much more
scarce sold for almost half a million
bucks if your grandpa held on to any
baseball football basketball or hockey
cards from his youth you may want to
check the value of his collection they
could make your family extremely rich if
you buy a hundred items this year one or
two or three might go up in value but
thirty forty or fifty will be sold below
cost though they’ve inspired games of
needham got em for well over a century
sports cards have gone through some
changes over the years for example there
are no longer produced by tobacco
companies or included in cigarette packs
nevertheless these trading cards have
always maintained a timeless charm that
can appeal to anybody who’s ever dreamed
of owning a sports team no Dawg you’re
missing the point you have to borrow a
little bit alright okay I’ll throw in
Mazin Johnny Bench
just try not to break your teeth on the
Bubblegum
number five Pez dispensers what is that
a PEZ dispenser you’re okay I just
bought it at the flea market first sold
in Austria in 1927 these bite-sized
candies have transcended the food
industry to become icons in the
collectible community the great thing
about Pez dispensers is that the
manufacturing possibilities are endless
you can put any head on a dispenser
whether it’s a historical icon cartoon
character or political figure seeing as
how there are over five hundred and
fifty dispensers and many of them have
inspired numerous different variations a
Pez heads collection is never truly
complete number four Cabbage Patch Kids
when the doors opened at this
wilkes-barre Pennsylvania store the
pushing and shoving began one woman was
knocked to the floor and suffered a
broken leg created in 1978 by 21
year-old art student Xavier Roberts
Cabbage Patch Kids took the world by
storm in the 80s
every kid dreamed of adopting one of
these darling dolls resulting in the
Cabbage Patch riots we kid you not when
Cabbage Patch Kids first hit the shelves
in the u.s. in 1983 Anarchy broke out
across American retail stores reports
claimed that people were arming
themselves with baseball bats just to
get their hands on these hot ticket
items while Cabbage Patch Kids remained
a best-seller for years to come shoppers
never went crazy for them like they did
in late 1983 now we just go crazy every
Black Friday I messed up there somebody
tries to steal something from me number
three Pokemon Trading Cards on you gonna
eat lunch no I blew my food allowance on
Pokemon cars although Pokemon is still a
popular franchise there was a time when
it dominated the friggin world kids
watched every episode of the anime
series devoured every Game Boy game and
sought to collect every trading card hey
look here honey another Metapod you can
never have enough meta punch Canyon
if you grew up in the late 90s chances
are your entire life revolved around
filling a three-ring binder with every
Pokemon card and maybe even playing the
trading card game kids took the ad
campaign quite literally in a quest to
catch them all which only got harder
when the list expanded beyond 151 while
most of us eventually moved on to other
things we’ll never forget the blessed
day when we got our first Charizard I
don’t to be around all these babies
playing Pokemon badly this kid right
here it’s just wasting his Charizard you
are wasting your Charizard number two
pugs excuse me my good man I have $500
to blow what have you got behold the
ultimate pug I’ll take it pogs got their
start in Hawaii as early as 1927 but
they wouldn’t become a phenomenon until
the 90s even if you never learned how to
play the game growing up there’s little
doubt that you had a pock tainer
filled with these small discs upon how
the thing you can put your pogs in why
cuz manufacturers could print virtually
anything on them whether you were into
cartoons video games or out there was a
set of pogs out there for every kid to
collect it’s a pretty simple idea but
that’s part of what makes pogs so
brilliant and you’ve smashed down bigger
pogs onto them to try and flip them up
like that and because they were weighted
with the staple when they go up in the
air they flip themselves over and that
was the entire game and you collected
them and they were just basically couple
discs before we get to our top pick here
are some honorable mentions this was the
most popular vending toy that we ever
had in the history of my business in the
history of my business from the
inception of the vending until now the
homies was the most popular thing
kids collect them they wear them they
trade them they use them as a fashion
accessory more so now it’s becoming kind
of a currency for parents and coaches
around the country in the world it can
be pretty difficult to do at first try
using hops to help you pops on to that’s
what helped me number one beanie babies
this picture exists in only two places
the negative is in my personal safe
along with my will and some beanie
babies that I thought would be worth
more everybody loves a teddy bear with
beanie babies however Ty Warner Inc
didn’t stop at stuffed bears they
produced stuffed rhinos stuffed
zebras stuffed octopuses etc basically
if a species of animal existed it
inspired a beanie baby first introduced
in 1991 and becoming a hot commodity
within four years the darling bean
stuffed animals of course draw in kids
but even adults couldn’t resist them we
can say oh no it was fun it was a lot of
fun it was so exciting but we you know
we just remember hearing about how much
they were worth and looking in the price
guides and we just kept a came in and
kept accumulating them it wasn’t enough
to just have one beanie baby though you
had to possess all of these cuddly
creatures even if it meant emptying your
401k collecting them paid off in the end
however as we all know that beanie
babies are now worth a fortune
um right I’ll really should have check
the value more than once every sixteen
years we’ve gone to live with my
sister’s family and on the way get an
application to be a Walmart greeter do
