90's Trends That Could Be Worth Money
Some things you might have owned in the 90's have majorly appreciated in value over the last decade or two. Don't forget to check comps (completed sales) before you get too excited.
Polly Pocket - The tiny dolls and their compact playhouses have gotten larger since Mattel bought the brand in 1998, which might be why the original, actually pocket-sized Pollys have increased in value.
Pokemon Cards - Even in the ‘90s, a Charizard was a rare find. Now, those who really want to “catch ‘em all” will have to pay a high price to add a Charizard to their collections.
Pokemon for Nintendo Gameboy - Pokémon games for Nintendo Gameboy can also net owners a pretty penny. Red, Blue, and Yellow versions can cost several hundred dollars each.
Furby - If your Furby was too creepy for you to even take it out of the box as a child, you’re in luck.
Castlevania - The Dracula-based video game Castlevania is particularly valuable these days.
M.U.S.H.A. - The 1990 shooting game M.U.S.H.A. is much-coveted on eBay.
Super Mario Bros. - You can play Super Mario Bros on a Wii these days, but some people are still on the lookout for the game’s original versions for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
G.I. Joe Action Figures - Even used ones you got through the mail in the 90's are bringing good money. Also keep an eye out for the G.I. Joe Mobile Command Center.
Power Rangers - The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers are now mighty valuable.
Magic: The Gathering Cards - Magic: The Gathering debuted in 1993, and some of the earliest cards produced can fetch several thousand dollars from collectors.
Hot Wheels - Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt cars, first released in 1995, are still quite popular with collectors.
Wrestling Specials - Some wrestling specials from the 90's are worth good money today on VHS.For example, a match between Hulk Hogan and “Macho Man” Randy Savage or the 1997 tape of World Champion Wrestling’s Great American Bash.
Stamps - A select number of rare stamps from the 90's get traded for (relatively) high prices among collectors.
Harry Potter Books - Some Harry Potter novels are now worth big money. Only 500 copies of the first 1998 edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone—with Joanne Rowling listed as the author—were printed, making them extremely valuable now.
