shit this brings back memories, i used to play it a lot with friends but it was a skill game not a game of chance... we had little pockets to keep the marbles and i member there was different materials and we even had the lucky marble... we would strike as hard as we could with the ones with stronger materials to damage the ones from the other players... 

People who buy and sell valuable unopened soda.The right sealed-empty can (i.e. the factory messed up and didn't put any soda in it, and it was never opened) will easily sell for 5 fingers and the really rare ones are well into the 6 figures.

This unopened emoty diet coke from 1997 got $10k  a few weeks ago:

I've been meaning to see that for years, I was roommates with a  friend of the people who made it and he liked it but back then it wasn't easy to get a copy.

EDIT: I've always thought there should be people obsesively collecting prepaid calling cards, but I've never found them. They seem perfect for it - fragile, ephemeral, garish, with a lot of designs that change all the time.

Not quite a rabbit hole but people have uploaded an insane number of VHS rips of blocks of 80s and 90s TV programming to archive.org over the last few years.
