My mom threw away all my comic books when I went into the Marines.

I had some really classic ones, especially Silver Surfer issue #1, which is now worth about $10,000 last time I checked.

And I had many others as well..................

I still have some of my X-Men, Lobo, and a few others. Most have been read so much they aren’t worth anything. I even had the mid-70’s large re-print editions of Batman, Superman, and Tarzan.

Well, that's moms - mine threw out all my R&R photos (all rated PG) I sent home and emptied the powder out of the VC rounds I sent home AND gave away my high school ring (gold) to some guy going door to door asking if anybody had any rings to give him..

Mothers are fascinating creatures.

What is it with Moms? Mine threw away my first issue of spiderman.

I can still quote you passages from that issue verbatim, and it's been at least 20 years since I read it.

Oy vey, and your mom pitched it? I’d constantly remind my mom that she did that.
