You done good...the best I found was a White Castle mug for a buck at an estate sale...put it on my ebay site, figured it would bring in 10-15 dollars....It hit 100 within 24 hours and ended up going for 300 dollars...your right, you have to know what your looking at. In collectables it can get weird...another mug from goodwill I gave to my daughter for her site...(I had quit ebay by then) It was a Burger King mug she got 53 dollars for and I paid 99 cents...I love finding things I can give to my kids for their site....3 of them do ebay.

I never looked at it as how much I made in the end, but how much I paid for it and what it went for.... fun stuff, but too old to trapse all over the county going to sales anymore...(I have gotten lazy in my old age...:O)

If you ever find a White Castle mug, by mcnikel china and it has 3 colors on it...its worth 300 dollars...It is a rare mug where the grass in green in front of the White castle logo and the words White Castle are in red. Plus the white mug and black logo Most are just black on white mugs.. I was shocked at what it went for. There is also one special FireKing Snoopy mug that gets up into a hundred dollars..lots of them are only worth about 10 bucks..

I think one of the neatest comics I've ever found was a Captain Marvel from World War Two that has Captain Marvel holding a War Bond Stamp and encouraging the kids to help support the war effort.

A lot of the World War Two-era comics didn't survive the paper recycling drives that the government encouraged during the war years. That's one of the reasons that pre-1945 comics are worth so much. That Batman I was telling you about earlier is one of only one hundred fifteen known copies of that particular issue that is known to exist.
