“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” turns 60 this year. 🎃 And Linus is still waiting in that pumpkin patch.

Six decades on, the Peanuts Halloween special is pure nostalgia — and a whole collecting world. Fans chase Jim Shore figurines, anniversary Snoopy plush, vintage costumes, and Charlie Brown’s “I got a rock” keepsakes. This year even Starbucks dropped a Peanuts line fans are lining up for. 🍫

The trick (sorry): knowing vintage from reproduction, and limited-edition from mass-produced — that’s what separates a keepsake from a real collectible.

WorthPoint’s Brenda Kelley Kim-Author breaks it down — backed by 1 billion+ real sale prices. 👇

Nearly $1 MILLION in sports and Pokémon cards — stolen off a FedEx truck. 🚚💔

Two pallets of graded cards vanished in California last week, including a gold Michael Jordan card and rare Pokémon. The gut-punch detail: one collector lost $500,000, and another’s two-year, $8,000-in-grading collection was insured for just $156K — far short of its real value. 📉

It’s a stark reminder that as collectibles become real assets, they need to be treated like them: documented, valued accurately, and properly insured. A photo and a current value can be the difference between a claim paid and a loss swallowed.

Backed by 1 billion+ real sale prices. 👇

Your favorite NBA team’s game-worn jersey is about to become a serious collectible. 🏀

Goldin just signed official game-worn memorabilia deals with the Lakers AND the Pistons — meaning jerseys straight from the hardwood, tied to real moments in franchise history. A Dennis Rodman Pistons jersey from the 1991 playoffs already sold for nearly $60,000. 💰

As one exec put it: a jersey from a memorable performance “carries a story that can’t be replicated.” For collectors, game-worn gear is one of the most authentic assets in the hobby.

WorthPoint’s Jon Waldman has the story — backed by 1 billion+ real sale prices. 👇

Three centuries of history, one auction house. ⚔️ Meet Grenadier Military Antiques Auctions.

In our latest Partner Profile, Bruce Hermann of Grenadier talks military antiques spanning the 1700s through World War II — the kind of historically significant pieces that preserve the past rather than just decorate a shelf. (A recent sale totaled $1.1 million, with collector interest in antique helmets on the rise.) 🛡️

As Bruce puts it: pairing Grenadier’s institutional knowledge with WorthPoint’s data is a win-win for preserving and protecting historical items.

WorthPoint’s Brenda Kelley Kim has the full conversation. 👇

Dad bought the cards. The kid lost interest. Decades later, that attic box is worth a small fortune. 🎴📦

A retired decorator found Pokémon cards he’d carefully preserved in the ’90s when his son was into them — stored in custom notebooks, kept pristine. At Ewbank’s, that care paid off: condition is everything, and his protected cards sold for serious money while his son’s un-preserved ones didn’t. 💰

As Pokémon becomes a genuine asset-class collectible, the lesson is clear: don’t leave value in a dusty corner. WorthPoint Vault lets you catalog, value, and track what you own — so nothing gets forgotten.

Document it before you forget it. 👇
