    My Magic The Gathering cards (mostly 3rd edition), unless for the right price. :p

    Didn't know people were still playing it until recently and found out that some of my cards are worth quite a bit now.

    football cards from the early 90s.

    spiderman comics. In total about 100, but i only bought the ones with significant characters (venom, green goblin, hobgoblin, etc), ones that had special artists, Mrfarlane, lee, etc., and typically stuck with the Amazing series

    ​

    And "Getting ripped in 4 weeks" ads. [sorry, mr. 'tavern19.]

    Also, I love collecting iFrames with advertisements. These I can't get rid of. They help the site.

    In all seriousness, though, I had the last three World Cups in VHS at home but Mrs. SwoLy is smarter than me and made me put them all into DVDs to save up space... then I got rid of all of those DVDs. :(

    I have reprints of the first 13 issues of Xmen somewhere, in less than desirable condition at this point, I suspect. Got them from a friend who had extras sometime around 1982 or so. Still have them, along with some ink work by Bill Willingham and some original Wolverine comic ink storyboards with color spec work on them. so I guess that's pretty geekish. I don't know how Baseball Cards or Records qualify, but if that's the geekiest you've got I guess good on ya. I have plenty of baseball cards as well (about the only one worth much is/was the Ricky Henderson Rookie card, but I have a signed Bagwell rookie card that's worth more to me). Also plenty of Rockets stuff, but that's also not geekish imo.

    I too have a bunch of Magic cards 3rd edition... you say they're worth somethin to someone? I'd have to say that's probably my best example to address the OP.

    My basketball card collection is very small now, I only have kept about 1% of it. I have over 350 different Hakeem cards from various years.

    My BGS graded Michael Jordan 1986-87 Fleer #57.

    My Aaron Brooks Bowman Sterling Nameplate Jersey/Auto card numbered 1 of 5.


    My Jamarcus jersey :eek:

    hmmm this is hard

    I have all of the Hardy Boys CaseFiles books from 1 to like 70 something from when I was a kid. Along with the SuperMystery ones with Nancy Drew I probably have close to 90 total.

    I also have a collection of Alias trading cards to go with my Heroes ones and some action figures from different tv shows - like Heroes and Babylon 5

    What other geeky things do I have...

    I have all my Cabbage Patch dolls and a bunch of Barbies (collectible and non-collectible).

    Can't think of anything else - OH - I do have a collection of Garbage Pail cards as well ;)

    Edit: oh I also have one of every single version of Chuck's rookie card that were printed.
