    This is my favorite. It's obviously a reference to the Evander Holyfield "incident".

    WOW, I didn't even know that one existed. The artists are quite creative!

    These sticker cards were a lot of fun when I was a kid and they are still fun today. Mint condition examples from the 1980s go for decent money now. It just goes to show you that whatever was hot and interesting during childhood will be the same a generation later in the nostalgia market. The phenomena is happening or has happened with Transformers and GI Joe figures of the 1980s.

    One thing I thought of doing once I get my own children, is to purchase some of the toys, games, or items of interest for them to actually handle and play, and have a duplicate stored and archived for when they are grown adults. Those items will be worth decent money later, it's not a question of IF, just WHEN.

    I collected Garbage Pail Kids for a few years before I started collecting baseball cards. I believe I had the whole 5th series if I remember correctly. I bet you can guess what I did with them. Right on the back of the bedroom door. SMH...... The ones that weren't stuck on the door were later sold in a shoebox for $5-10 for the whole lot at a yard sale. I probably bought some '87 or '88 Topps with the proceeds so not a complete loss I suppose, but nearly. They were certainly fun to collect and the fact that my mom didn't like them, but tolerated them made it even better!
