Let's see: I kept a Diamond Multimedia 16 bit ISA card (meh!), an 8-bit SBPro 2 on the original packaging (this one is somewhat valuable) and, I think, an SBLive! Value (this one is PCI). Might have kept a 3Com 56K modem and some assorted LAN cards (also meh). I wish I had kept my SB AWE64. I also have an original P5 Pentium 60 with the FDIV bug (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_processo...) and a Samsung 5.25 floppy which may be useful to get a file from a disk some day.

If you have a stack of Adlib Gold cards, that might be true.

had to google it - wow they sell for thousands?!

I know I have an adlib card in there somewhere but not sure if "gold" model

I knew to save the name brand ones vs cheap clones

Some massive scsi controllers that were hundreds of dollars, just can't put them into a landfill.

The "Gold" cards are rare because Creative paid off Yamaha to delay the release of the Gold's OPL chip for long enough to make Ad Lib Inc go bankrupt, so very very few Gold cards saw the light of day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_Lib,_Inc.#AdLib_Gold_1000_(...

Check out vogons.org to see which ones are valuable, if any.
