My stepmother threw out a comics collection that, if I’d held onto it, would probably be worth a couple million today.

Much of my early record collection was obtained by visiting flea markets and yard sales. It was typical for parents to put the LPs in milk crates and sell them for like a buck a piece.

Speaking for myself, when I went to the military, I was never to see my baseball card and MAD magazine collections again!
