Who would have thought that the lunchbox that you were obviously crazy about as a kid and wanted to show off to all your friends could also be worth a small fortune today? Collectible lunch boxes are actually a thing, and the value is remarkably high if you can get your hands on one of the rarest of the bunch.

The 1953 Superman lunchbox is just about as powerful and popular as the character himself. The Universal made box features Superman fighting off robots and rescuing a damsel in distress (all in a day when you’re Superman). This little lunch box has been known to fetch over $13,000!

Most of us went through lunch boxes pretty quickly as kids, so if you once had this and wish you’d kept hold of it, don’t panic. Keep your eye out on sites like eBay and you never know what might pop up. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
