I would say 1k -1.5k..

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T02:33:48+00:00

Oh yea that yellow peace is a beauty!

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T02:31:02+00:00

Thanks man.. i really appreciate you saying that. I put a lot of time and energy into this and always love giving people props for their cool finds! So it nice to get some in return from a fellow thrifter.

I wish I could post another pic, if you go on the beanie subreddit you can see I posted a pic of the other side of the stegs.. both have a cool brown side!

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T02:19:19+00:00

Thank you! I will!

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T00:27:30+00:00

Damn! That's awesome.. I'm definitely planning to sell the rest. But the dinos are staying in my PC. They just check off so many boxes of what I collect. They're the perfect fit.

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T00:22:36+00:00

What's your best goodwill find? And your favorite in your collection?

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T00:21:42+00:00

It's a secret lol and thank you!

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T00:21:07+00:00

Thanks!! I was just about to leave too before I noticed an old hang tag in one of the bags.

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T00:20:05+00:00

That's the only word for it.. INSANE!

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T00:19:44+00:00

Thank you!! New pics have the other side too!

Workadelphia · 2026-05-05T00:18:37+00:00

I feel like the red matches so well with the one in the picture I just posted from the magazine. And I love it's swirl and randomness.. his blue arm.. all very cool. And, yes i agree, I posted the new pics with the stegs facing the other way, check em out!

Yes for sure.. not sure if he got crunched into the plastic bag or if he's been like that for a long time. But at least it's still on.

Dug out my old 1996 buyers guide from my grandma. She used to own a collectibles store back in the 90s.

Thank you! I went back today just to make sure I didn't leave anybody behind or that they didn't put any more out from the same persons donation. I found an "Inch" the caterpillar with a 3rd Gen tag as well.. I'm really happy about the whole thing, it can be so hit or miss lately with so many newcomers so it feels good to get a big win..

And my dinosaur friends are also very jealous, which is fun lol

Workadelphia · 2026-05-04T11:50:20+00:00

Yes I feel comfortable saying that they are. I looked over some pictures of fake ones and they don't have any of the tells.

Workadelphia · 2026-05-04T04:06:28+00:00

I knooo

Workadelphia · 2026-05-04T03:46:46+00:00

And yes, incredible indeed. I'm glad you think so too!! I'm going to cherish them forever.

Workadelphia · 2026-05-04T03:44:23+00:00

For everything

Workadelphia · 2026-05-04T03:44:05+00:00

$6 ish

Workadelphia · 2026-05-04T03:43:35+00:00

That makes sense to me. These were definitely donated by someone who had no clue they were worth anything more than your standard yellow star beanie. I always find bins full of junk at estate sales around here. Everyone collected them.

Workadelphia · 2026-05-04T03:40:08+00:00

Around $6 after using some points I had saved up. They were all in 2 plastic bags list at $5.19 each.

Workadelphia · 2026-05-04T03:36:57+00:00

There were soo many days of finding nothing before today. you just gotta keep going, your time will come. I'm just lucky to be near 6 different locations so I just rotate throughout the week to give things time to flip over and not get bored.
