Default collectibles from companies

I think I might just end up giving away... or offering them to kids
around here or perhaps selling other items and including some as
"freebies". I might keep the hot wheels but the rest is just taking up
space. I plan to do a MAJOR clean. Hey, I am VERY proud of myself. I
threw out (gave to charity) 30 pairs of shoes! For me, that's
something as I am a shoe-aholic.

I think I asked this last year with no response. Well annually, I
start cleaning my closets and try to make room... and I've a shelf of
what we call "Premium" stuff.

I have things like tony the Tiger and the Foot Loops bird (stuffed in
box), 2 Tony the Tiger keychains, a PrimeCo doll (with tags; the
company went out of business), Enron Keychain (with Enron tissue
wrap). a REALLY nice Kelloggs truck new in wrapping and box (long
trailer about 8" long), a bunch of hot wheels/matchbox cars form
various companies (batteries, aspirin, Kelloggs etc) and a small box
of cereal toys still in wrappers... amongst some other things.

Is there any collector place for these sorts of things??? I'd like to
get rid of all my stuff. I also have things like Star Wars Pogs (KFC,
Pizza Hut etc), Cracker Jack baseball cards and Post baseball cards
and such things. I even found a Godzilla poster. and other "new"
things I just figure it's a shame to throw away/give away. They seem
collectible. Are they?


Probably not too collectable yet, but 20 years from now when the "Hey,
remember these from when we were kids?" syndrome kiks in they probably will
be.
