4 New York Yankee Bobblehead 1961-1962
Maker: New York Yankees
Original Price: Unknown
Today’s Value: $59,000
New York Yankee Bobbleheads are very rare. If you know where to look, bobbleheads can be a highly valuable commodity. These cute little guys love being sold for upwards of $5,000, making them a popular collector’s item.
The bobblehead is rare because only two examples were made. Rare collector’s items made from ceramic and paper mache are hand-painted. You could be holding $60,000 if you happen to find one of these 14-inch bobbleheads in good shape.
Finding one in perfect condition can be difficult. For children, bobbleheads may be quite interesting. They might not even understand what “future values” mean. However, they are highly valued (and sought-after) when they do appear at auction.
5 1959 Pyrex Casserole Dish
Maker: Pyrex
Original Price: $15
Today’s Value: $4,000
Corning, Inc., founded Pyrex in 1915. Initially, it was a line of clear glass dishware that could also be used in the home. Pyrex is versatile enough to bake in the oven, use on the stove, and as tupperware.
Later on, the company would expand its brand and make changes to its design. Since then, vintage Pyrex collecting has become a profitable and popular pastime. The 1959 Pyrex Casserole-Dish is a great example of a vintage Pyrex dish that is still in use today.
Pyrex also announced it would be relaunching “Lucky in Love”, the Casserole Dish, in 2018! Lucky in Love is a popular vintage design. The dish measures one quart and is decorated with four-leaf clovers in green and a green grass garden with adorable pink hearts.
