OKLAHOMA CITY – It can be tough to keep items in perfect condition, but it majorly affects its value.

An old toy that was made after the Cold War is only worth about $15 to $25 in its current condition, but it would have been worth several hundred dollars if it was in good condition.

There’s very little information available for a painting, but it has a decorative value of $125 to $175.

A guitar that has some risque images on it was made in the 1920s and would be worth nearly $5,000 in perfect condition.

However, in its current condition, it will go for $1,500 to $2,200.
