My Lovely Horse posted:Is there one of Hitler, and followup question, is there one from a movie of someone playing Hitler that is indistinguishable from one of Hitler? Trying to figure out where they draw a line, if anywhere. You'll have to wait until they do a Ron Mael Funko Pop.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:During the Beanie Baby craze, my best friend's mom was deep into it and convinced they would pay for his college later on. She fought tooth and nail to get every single Beanie Baby, and had them in glass display cases. I'll never forget being at his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. His mom handed him a few small gifts and said to open one of them last. That one turned out to the the Princess Di special limited edition (it was a purple bear with a white rose on it) , which she had paid $100 for because they were extremely hard to find. He opened it, kind of gave a confused look, and she yanked it out of his hands. "I don't want it to get dirty." It went in the display case with all the others. Uh the Princess Diana bear is actually the one that is valuable. You sure it was that one and he only got a few hundred? Because that one is worth a cool $10,000.

Important thing there is you got the crossover of beanie baby lunatics and Princess Diana lunatics who need just that and the commemorative Princess Diana revolver to complete their collection.

My mom also collected beanie babies and had a closet absolutely full of them. I helped her gather up and sell almost all of them about 4 years ago but she still has some of the bears, including the dianna bear. We took it to an appraiser once and guess what? There are several versions of that bear! The vast majority are worth around 5 to 10 bux. There's like, a handful that are different (somehow) that are with 1000 or a million or whatever, but I can guarantee no normal person has one. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/08/16/how-much-is-the-princess-diana-beanie-baby-worth/552426001/ On topic: I have one funko pop figure that was given to my wife and I as a gift from a French couple who stayed with us at our house for a few days (airbnb, not just strangers crashing on our couch). We have a small stuffed fox that we bought at inari jinja in the guest room so they bought us... Retsuko. Because they thought she looked like a fox. They didn't know what funko pop's were either. It was very nice of them and they were cool.

I asked him and I guess he held on to that one, but it is one of the ones that isn’t worth that much due to being produced later in the run or something.

This is making me feel bad for owning about 10 Amiibos but at least those look like the characters and serve some (small) function.

Eh I wouldn't feel bad about owning a few little things like that. Even the Funko Pop things wouldn't be too bad if you had like one or two of them. On the other hand those mega collector people are something else. That video earlier of the dude who bought 15k worth of the things was downright physically uncomfortable to watch, even for the few minutes I had it up.

Ghost Leviathan posted:IIRC the bottom's dropped out of sports cards partly because of the usual problems but also because literally no one under 50 cares about them and all it takes is a few kids selling their dead dad's collection on Ebay to flood the market. Father in-law unloaded a shitload of supposedly valuable baseball card sets on me a few years ago and told me to sell them. I couldn't loving give them away lol

I couldn't loving give them away lol I got lucky to find a used game dealer who took older boardgames and baseball cards and Lego kits. They paid shipping and a value >0 and seemed motivated to re-home them. Win win all around. Almost all books went to the local library fundraisers. I gave anything nerdish or humorous to fellow goons. No takers for coins, though. I wonder how many hundred years it'd take for bicentennial quarters to be worth at least $0.26 each. Also German language novels 18th and 20th century. Even schools didn't want those.

My Lovely Horse posted:I really strongly don't like them but the main reason for that is because they fit everything that makes a character design unique into a neat marketable template, but Retsuko's already got the Funko Pop proportions and design anyway so sure. That's like the one character where it works. Yeah, the TV head guy from Saga looks okay in that format, but the rest of the line not so much. Not that I own any, but if I was going to, it'd be one like that.

There are multiple people now in a bidding war for the Guy Fieri Funko. The joke was barely worth it at 10 dollars, I suppose it was not meant to be
