The first time I heard the expression, “No Sh*t Sherlock” was back in the late 1950's or early 1960's when Rock & Roll was King and Radio was the main source of music. There was a Syndicated radio show with a dick jockey named: ”Mad Daddy”. He was a cool dude! You could call him “live” on the air during his show. I remember somebody ask is something dumb and he blurted of “No Sh*t Sherlock”. Back then any foul language was a no no and he was suspended. However, his popularity was so large that he was back on the air several night later.
However, several weeks latter he was in the mood and blurted out: “ Hey Mother Goose, your Kotex is bleeding red tomato juice”. That was the end of that. Supposedly his show continued out in California and I remember seeing him I some movie several years later.
Let see how old you are? Where did the phrase “Yes’sery Buffalo Bob” originate from?

Actually, I am in my early 40s. My dad grew up in the 50s and loves stuff like that and passed that love on to his kids. (We all love old monster movies, Abbott and Costello, Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd, 50s rock, and so on). He took meticulous care of his toys and passed them onto his kids to play with, which we didn't do the same and subsequently destroyed. I remember playing with Howdy Doody toys when I was a kid. Breaks my heart to think of what they might be worth now.

Back in 2000(?) or so, I sold my Line Ranger cap pistol, mask, belt buckle and plastic silver bullets at an auction. Bought a New Chevy Astro Can, computer and took my wife on a cruise. I was socked at what people will pay for memorabilia.
I also collect beer and soda pop bottles, un-opened with the contents enclosed. A 1938 Bottle of POC (Pilsner of Cleveland, better known locally as the Pee of Cleveland) sold on EBay for 2800. (Clark and his proper words, I had to use pee in place of p*ss.) I have four bottles of POC from 1959.

I'm selling off my vinyl records from the 70s and 80s. It's a shock which sells for what, almost the opposite of what I'd expect. Cream and Eric Clapton aren't worth anything, but heavy metal is hot.
Insects are funny. Species are worth a fortune until somebody finds a source (often temporary) and the price plummets. Then that new price sticks in everyone's mind forever.
A much older collector friend of mine paid $25 for Troganoptera brookiana back in the early 60s. I remember them being sold for $2 each in the 1990s.
I still have my Aurora dinosaur models from when I was a kid. And a load of NIB Tamiya sportscar models from circa 1990. And dealer promo Corvette models. Thanks to the internet, they're worth next to nothing today!
