Show your "High Personal Value/Low Collector Value" Items

Sometimes memories can out-value an item collect ability..


Every collection is dotted with things that mean a lot to the collector, but don't really have much value on the open market.

These are mine that I recently was able to restore to my collection.

I lived in rural Nebraska in 1970 so anything baseball and baseball card related was huge to me. On the left was a lunch box that I had as a kid that included a spinner and magnets that allowed you to "play" a baseball game. A huge deal to an 8 year old.

On the right is a plastic locker that stored baseball cards by team. It was the only baseball card related item I had ever seen that wasn't actual cards.

Both of these aren't easy to find in the exact condition I wanted and at a reasonable price because there's so little collector interest in them other than for me. I recently went on a search to find both of them and relive those memories of being a baseball fan as a kid again.

What items do you have in your collection that are not cards....but hold a lot of memories for you even though no one else might share it's value?
