Kind of crazy that children of the 80's were directly targeted by industries for "collectible" items. Comic books, baseball cards, figurines, etc. We were even told not to open them in many cases through the years. Craziest thing is that comic books were actually an amazing investment, 100%+ profit

You'd buy some comic for a $1 or two, and now, they're worth $2-4 bucks or $0.25 to $0.50. Have to work in bulk, but I can't think of anything that actually has such a consistent value increase. Certainly not blaseball cards.

No one back then said unopened NES video games could be worth thousands though. That's nonsense in the end, what kid wouldn't open a game? Monster kids, that's who.
