My son has a stuffed animal in his bedroom worth about $5,000
He won a sweepstakes prize while we were collecting squishmallow cards. I built him a plexiglass cube to display it, but if not for the display, it's a very unassuming stuffed animal.
That's awesome! I agree that it doesn't look all too special if it was just sitting with other stuffed animals.
I have a feeling these are gonna go the way of beanie babies and vinyl toys and be worth very little in 3-5 years.
But then again, I just dug out some of my old Matchbox cars for my 6 year old. Just for fun went looking on eBay, and if I had treated them better, a couple were worth over $300. So who knows.
That's fine, I don't think he'll ever sell it. It means more to him than a pay day.
