Thomas Kinkade Collectibles
The sad plight of famous artists is that their works will often only become truly recognized as treasures sometimes long after they died. In the case of the “Painter of Light”, Thomas Kinkade, this trend was reversed. The tireless artist went to such lengths to keep his personal painting stocks abundant that people soon stopped going out of their way to acquire them at an expense. By the time of the artist’s 2012 passing, nearly 5% of American houses had a Kinkade, as revealed by The Guardian.

Hess Trucks
The lion’s share of toys that were manufactured in the 1960s will have been played with until they fell apart or were too damaged to still hold any value, with Hess trucks not having been spared such rough play. That being said, if you managed to keep your Hess truck that was manufactured in 1964 with a mint condition, you could sell it for around $2,500, as stated by Antiques Almanac. Anything less than a perfect state will only fetch about $40.
