The Most Valuable Collectors' Items in History

The Princess Diana push figure was created shortly after her death to raise money for the Princess Diana Memorial Fund. As with everything named after the lady, it caused a huge hysteria and they've been gathering dust in people's attics ever since, hoping they'll rise in value.

The question of the real value of Ty Beanie stuffed animals is disputed. Some say they are worth no more than US $ 5-7, while others speculate that there are some valuable at US $ 500,000. The deciding factor is reportedly the filling, with the first edition filled with PVC pellets therefore fetching a higher value.

Either way, there's no denying that some people are willing to pay to get the rarest babies in their collection. Considering how popular they were in the '90s, it's worth taking a look in Mom's attic to see if you're sitting on a small fortune.
