If you see a groovy poster at a yard sale - buy it! What it could be worth...


There might some real treasure buried in those yard sales...

Collectible expert Terry Kovel has potentially valuable items to keep digging for:

* Psychedelic posters: Super colorful graphics, specific concert dates and pinholes in the corners suggest it’s the real deal. A lack of pinholes, or other signs of age and use, could mean that the poster is a reproduction. Example: A Peter Max poster from 1968 called “Love” sells for $316.

* Odd looking printed handkerchiefs: They were popular in the 70’s and often feature vibrant colors and patterns or a character of some sort printed on fine linen or cotton. Keep your eye out for 70’s style silk scarves - they may be worth hundreds of dollars.

* Fisher-Price toys: The older, wooden toys by Fisher-Price are valuable if they’re in good condition. Little People from the 1980s or before can be worth $2 each for plastic and $5 or more if they’re wooden.
