Hell yeah, nickelback!!!!!!
Hinder is far superior.
They're all old and outdated!
And I am forever grateful and blessed to be living in this modern day age of Ebay and YouTube and Everdrives and whatnot where we can now more easily than ever relive most any past time period we want! As I've already mentioned a few times here:

And who knows how much more so that will be as (in slightly modified words of Jeff Rovin's How to Win at Nintendo Games 3 intro) we soon get the 2020s off to a rip roaring start!
Practically 50 percent of us here were probably born in the 80's and probably 30 percent in the 90s. The other 20 percent are weirdos
This is how I feel about my Nintendo tapes.
I love the 80's and early 90's. After that everything went to crap, or maybe I just hit puberty.
Nah. Thangs went to shit at the end of the 90's. Just listening to Nickle Back should be enough proof of that.

Don't forget a little over a decade later the Tickle Me Elmo riots!! And in the late 90s all those idiots who thought Beanie Babies was gonna pay off half their mortage or college
This reminds me of the idiots who think the same about funko pops
To be fair there ARE Funko Pops that go for up to a few thousand dollars, and a fair few that are over 200. I helped a co-worker liquidate her collection a year or so ago and she had some hot items simply from being a collector. They all sold incredibly easily, some for a few hundred each.

But so did Beanie Babies back in the days when reality hadn't caught up with the hype. I believe it's only a matter of time before the same sort of thing happens with Funko Pops, so better to not invest or, if you have invested, get out while you can still get a good amount of money for them.

Fair enough! I was still kinda young when beanie babies stopped being valuable, so my knowledge of their growth and fall is slim.
Now valuable doesn't mean always valuable! A lesson well learned.

To give some perspective, a friend had been given a few of them as gifts back when they first started being made (not when they were popular). When the boom was in full swing, she ended up trading two of them in at a local card shop for something ridiculous, like 15-20 booster boxes of the original print run of Pokemon cards, which had been out for a while and weren't new but had started to skyrocket in price, so maybe late 1998, early 1999? A few weeks later, Beanie Babies were worthless. The guy running the card shop had had them on display, always talking about how he was goin to make bank, then overnight they were basically worthless. Meanwhile, my friend ended up pulling something like half a dozen foil Charizards out of her boxes and eBayed them fairly immediately for more money than the Beanie Babies would have pulled in, just to make sure they didn't suddenly tank too.
Yup. That'll "Beanie Baby" for sure.
More like Funkeenie Baby
From now on I will any bubble bursting or market crashing as "Beenie Baby'ing" or some variation.
To the OP.... I perused that website, and while the idea is cool, it looks like there's VERY minimal activity. If there's anything 80's/90's that's not covered in the "Everything Else" category I would be surprised. I think there are even some blanket decade threads.
I had no idea at how much garage pal kids trading cards are going for nowadays
I remember a 1991 issue of Baseball Cards Magazine that when someone asked in a letter to the editor how much GPK cards are they said "the name says it all, garbage". Meanwhile there were all these dealer ads who were screaming that the baseball card sets of that era are SURE to go up in value!!!!

Yeah, but like Funkos, the early EARLY Beanies (like the ones that were retired at least a year before any of the hype hit like the dinosaurs and the bee) are still worth some cash.
There's some Funko mascot display thingy that was at Toys R Us that's at least a couple grand.
