Who would have imagined that the lunchbox you were so obsessed with as a child and wanted to show off to all your friends could be worth a small fortune today? Collectible lunch boxes really exist, and they are extremely valuable if you can get your hands on one of the rarest. The 1953 Superman lunchbox is nearly as powerful and popular as the figure himself. The Universal box depicts Superman fighting robots and rescuing a girl in distress. This small lunchbox has been known to bring more than $13,000! Most of us passed through lunch boxes rapidly as kids, so don’t worry if you had one and wish you hadn’t discarded it. Keep an eye on sites like eBay; you never know what might come up. What one person considers garbage is another person’s treasure!

1951 Vincent Black Lightning Motorcycle
Maker: Vincent in Stevenage, England
Original Price: Unknown
Worth Today: $929,000*
The 1951 Vincent Black Lightning Motorcycle set the record for the most expensive motorcycle ever, selling for about $1 million in Las Vegas in 2018. It is one of perhaps 19 known to exist today, out of the initial 33 manufactured. Vincent built it on special order in Stevenage, England. It was built for Australian racer Tony McAlpine, who went on to win an astounding number of races, including Australia’s land speed record. The second most costly bike costs half as much as this one, making it the clear winner on all counts. While historic cars and luxury vehicles frequently sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars, seeing a bike sell for the same price is slightly less common. However, this does not preclude the existence of a market for ardent motorcycle collectors. Everything depends on where you look!
