From albums to toys, some of your old objects may be worth something. Check out this list of what's hot and what's not in your attic. Plus, read How to Sell Your Stuff
TOYS The guide: Whatever your type of toy, it probably has its own special book. In the past 20 years, there's been a "really big boom" of price guides for every type of collectible toy—Star Wars, Disney, Barbies, says Alex Winter of Hake's.
What's hot: Merchandise tied to the first Star Wars film—as long as it's still in the blister pack and "never made it into a kid's hands," Winter says. Star Wars items were produced in huge quantities, he adds, so the premium value is on original packaging. For older, more rare toys—Disneyana from the 1930s, for instance—it's less important to have the box.
What's not: Loose Lukes whose tiny plastic lightsabers were swallowed long ago; a missing package and accessories can reduce a figure's value from $100 to $15 or less.
Waste of time I am going through an estate also and thought this would beof help. It is not!!

I collected baseball cards by the complete set in the late 1980's and early 90's. Also have some autograph cards of some Boston Red Soxs.
Anyone interested.

my husband collected baseball cards as a kid. Had a bushel basket of them including ALL of the players the last time the Cubs won the series. His mom told him to take them but he didn't so they were sent to trash. YIKES

Interesting, but just a small taste of "collectors gone wild". Take a look at Super Nintendo Games
(only 10-15 years out of production) selling for as much as several thousand dollars a piece. That would be original factory sealed and mint condition!
