Talkboy
Following our collective admiration for Kevin McCallister’s use of his Talkboy in the Home Alone 2: Lost in New York film, we were all yearning to have our own. It was just a fantastic experience. In truth, it’s just a cassette tape recorder with a few different playback speed settings, and it was specifically designed for the movie in question. Tiger created a retail version of the prop once it was completed. They can be sold for up to $170 to $200 if they were purchased by your parents in the early 1990s and you still have them in your possession. What an accomplishment for an electronic toy based on a prop used in a sequel movie!
First Edition Of Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone
Potterheads could be sitting on a gold mine if they keep their bookshelves or cardboard boxes organized. Book copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, especially first editions, are worth an absurd amount of money. From $40,000 to $55,000, first edition hardcovers from 1997 (the UK version) that credit “Joanne Rowling” instead of J.K. Rowling range in price from $40 to $55,000. The US edition was retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and the copyright page will state “First American edition, October 1998,” as well as the number line “1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 8 9/9 0/0 01 02” and the title “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Depending on the condition, they can be valued up to $6,500 if you are fortunate enough to own one.
