I have many peice I value for worth but i hav a short story of a series of toys I cherish.
If you live in alabama you know of a flea market called " LACON" . it's a true junk flea market and not the walmart ones of today. I'm 37 now and as long as I can remember my father and I would go to this flea market every Sunday. Even when I went to college i would come home once a month to head to this flea market.
It took about 20 minutes from decatur to get there so it was always a fun time to talk to dad. One Sunday we went to the flea market ( this was in the mid 80's i would guess) and there was a lady who had a tale full of action figures all carded. She had all of the original 12 SW, clash of the titans and indiana jones figures as well. she even had some empire and other random toys . I even remember MEGOs as well. It looked like a toy show.
I was scared to ask the prices , but my dad did. She said all the figures where a 1.00 a piece and a couple of boxed toys where 2.00. that day we spent about 40.00 on 40 toys and past on MEGO's and some other items I know. I remember when times where tough at college I sold my marion ravenwood carded figure for 350.00 because they were all perfect. I still have all the rest and will never sell them or part with them.
The memory of my late father buying those for me is what keeps me going sometimes when i pay for three storage buildings or inventory my collection. It was something he loved me to do, and today I do it for him , myself and my three year old son.
for me it's the stories and memories attached to the toys that are the worth.Comment

Tough one........I think collectable wise it would proberbly be autographs (mainly Star Wars...but a smattering of everybody from everything)and Fantastic four no 1 comic, toy wise i dont know..maybe my 3 fx replica lightsabers although they aren't very old.
Again its not a toy but I do have one of the perspex stars with Star Wars engraved on it that was given out by George Lucas to people that worked on the original film...i'm pretty damn proud of that.ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT
British by birth....English by the grace of God. 
Yes Jamie...it is big isn't it....Comment

Thats always the best reason for any collectable...the memories that come with it...no matter what the object is.
i still have the pg tips cards and albums (given away with tea leaves), they were introduced to me by my late grandfather and we used to collect and swap them for years.ENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT British by birth....English by the grace of God. Yes Jamie...it is big isn't it....Comment

I don't think either of these are "worth" very much, but other than me Megos, I get the most jazzed about these guys!
