Made some money with LEGO technic sets something between 100% - 200%. But what was much much better was keeping some Magic Cards currently valued ~5k which I bought for pennies when at university.

I must dig out my MTG cards from 20 years ago and see if I have any rares or valuable cards I assume there is some online resource

  Anything from the Alpha release is going to be worth a lot. Even a set of basic lands will set you back $500. When I used to play back in '95/96 (4th Ed/Ice Age era) any Alpha/Beta cards were relatively expensive - now they're crazy.

    MTG is really skewed towards high end stuff 99% cards are never really going to be worth anything. I think a lot of people get disappointed when they find out their old bulk cards aren't as valuable as they expected them to be. I own thousands (probably 10's of thousands) of magic cards but I'd say 95% of my collections value is tied up in probably fewer than 50 cards. If you have unopened product (sealed boxes or packs) those are potentially worth quite a bit. A lot of old unopened booster packs are worth $15+ now.

      I'm lucky because I sold those 95% of cards (collection) back in the day and have only a playing deck left which I kept in the drawer for 20y. I was astonished to find that Mishras Workshop is $1k (also lucky that I've kept all cards in sleeves from the beginning).

  If you want to sell them quickly and easily you can use: https://store.tcgplayer.com/help/playerbuylist https://store.tcgplayer.com/help/playerbuylist . It's not as much money as you would get selling them individually on ebay but a lot more money than you would get from your local card store.
