Ever Wished You Could Find a Hidden Treasure for Under 20.00?
These are the top ten collecting stories based on real events.
. September 2012: Abstract Painting Brings Thousands
A Goodwill store in North Carolina sold a large abstract painting in 2011 for $9.99 to an amateur painter who wanted to reuse the canvas. A friend suggested she look up the artist’s name written on the back. It was Ilya Bolotowsky. Sotheby’s auctioned the painting on Sept. 21, 2012, for $34,375. The seller plans to pay bills and repair her house with the money.
One man's trash is another man's treasure (or woman) is so true! Hidden treasures are everywhere!
Maybe our time is coming to unmask a Marvel Comic worth thousands, or a rare, unheard recording by Elvis Presley...whatever it is; Comic, Magazine, Vinyl Record, Coin, Poster, Autograph...whatever...hidden treasures are everywhere.

Check the Website for WEEKLY DEALS
Sometimes it's hard to blog because time has a way of getting away from you, but I thought it was important to mention that we do offer TWO weekly deals categories...one has 5 regular products at 10% off and the other has 5 regular products listed at 20% off. If you have not gone to the website recently, we have done a lot to it...AND we have added new incentives and deals. But the only way to know is to check the website at www.bagsunlimited.com
The deals are listed on the homepage, and wholesale and BONUS points information is also listed on the homepage. Other links of interest would be NEW products, What We Do, and in PERIODICALS, you will find HOW TO videos that are very easy to follow with step by step directions.
We strive to offer the highest quality products in comic sleeves, comic backings, mailers and frames, as well as for posters, postcards, music, audio and vinyl, corrugated storage boxes, mailer tubes and card sleeves, frames, and just about everything in between. We have a product custom fit for almost every type of collectible. We invite you to go to the website now and browse the thousands of items we offer.

What's New for the New Year?
Bags Unlimited has been working on a lot of things....bringing new and exciting products to the table, lowering some pricing, adding the WEEKLY DEALS, and soon, "HOW TO" videos.
This is very exciting!

So, keep your eyes peeled! We will be adding videos soon, but in the interim, you can always call our customer support team! We're only a phone call or email away! *Be sure to stay in the loop and make sure we have your email address!

Collectibles are defined as objects of a type that is valued or sought after by collectors. There are so many types of collectibles that it would be impossible to list them all in one article, but some of the more popular ones are definitely worth taking a look at.
Whether you've decided to start collecting objects for pure interest or for monetary purposes, there are many benefits for collectors.
Below you will find a list of the most popular and most valuable collectibles
among adults today:
1. Comic Books. Comic books have always been a very popular collectible. Back in the early 1900's, most comic books were purchased for values between ten and fifteen cents. Many of those same comic books have been sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars today and some are said to be worth more. Not a bad payout if you ask us. The world's most valuable comic book is Action Comics #1 (June 1938) which had a cover price of 10 cents at the time of publish. Its present worth is estimated at $350,000.
2. Sports Cards. Much like comic books, sports cards can potentially be very valuable pieces in a collector's portfolio. Some of the most popular baseball and hockey cards have been sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars and some have estimated worths of more than a million dollars. The most valuable baseball card of all time, the Honus Wagner card from 1909, was sold in 2007 for a whopping 2.8 million dollars.
3. Stamps. Believe it or not, stamps are extremely valuable collectibles. The world's most valuable stamp is said to be the unique 1857 'Tre Skilling Banco Swedish stamp. This stamp was reportedly auctioned off for 2.8 million Swiss Francs, which works out to 2.3 million US dollars. Who knew a tiny stamp could hold such a large value?
4. Coins. Coins remain one of the most sought after collectibles in the world. Many people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on coins that were originally worth less than a dollar. The most valuable coin in the world is the 1933 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle. This coin had a face value of $20 but was purchased at an auction in July of 2002 for an unbelievable $7.6 million dollars.
5. Dolls. Much like baseball cards and comic books for men, collectible dolls are a huge interest for many women. And while unopened Barbie dolls and porcelain dolls can be extremely valuable, the Swiss-made bird trainer doll (also known as the six million dollar doll) is the most expensive doll in the world with an estimated worth of 6 million dollars. The second most valuable doll is said to be worth a mere 230,000 by comparison.
We hope you've enjoyed our article on the most popular - and most valuable - collectibles for adults. Who knows, maybe one day you'll sell your collectibles for millions of dollars.
