cereal box prizes!

Remember pouring out your cereal and out dumped a plastic prize on top? Or your sister stuffed her hand inside the box until she got the prize first?   Those days are long gone. My kids have no idea how much fun it was to get stuff out of a cereal box.   We should have taken better care of those prizes - think of how many moms threw them in the garbage!  Now, some of them are worth a lot of $$$!
I had no idea, but this little guy is called "monster in my pocket". He was only found in Shreddies Cereal boxes in the 80s or 90s, which were only sold in Canada.  
Don't hate me, but I picked up a whole bag of these rare monsters at a garage sale, not knowing what they were. I paid maybe 25 cents for the whole bag, and this one little guy sold for $140.!!!
Now, if I could just go back in time and stop my mom from throwing out all those cereal toys!
