Sports cards
I was digging through some old boxes at home and found my monster box of baseball/football cards. I spent hours going through them (thousands, and thousands), remembering how insanely important these things were to me when I was 10-13.
I remember a bunch of my friends and I would ride our bikes clear across town trying to hunt down a certain card to complete a certain set, in hopes that we would be filthy rich from our investments. I didn't realize that I was probably better off, along with every other kid, spending my money on anything the meep else.
I also felt the same way about Mad & Cracked magazines, which I still have boxed away.
Anyone else still holding on to their old childhood sports cards, or comics for no apparent reason?

Yeah, congrats on jizzing inside of something and then not letting your mistake die from negligence.

Cleaning the garage this morning so's I have room to build. I gritted my teeth and threw out all the old bits of armor, too-heavy maille(10-12 gauge) and a sword blank I'll never get around to beveling.

my brother and i had some baseball cards, even though we never were really that into baseball. they're probably still at my parents house somewhere. i don't recall having full sets of anything or anything that was particularly valuable. maybe a couple cards worth like $7.
i have a longbox of comics that i've kept. i have the entire maxx series, i think, as well as both issues of kieth's indie i before e. i think i have some earlier image stuff like the first issue of wildcats, etc. i have a bunch of spawn comics. i know i have the first three and like 7 copies of #1, although only two are in really good shape. i figure i'll probably dig them up in 20 years and see what i can get for them. i still read, but only buy trades anymore.

I had a duffel bag full of 60's and 70's baseball cards that an Uncle gave me when I was a kid. Unfortunately my mother tossed them while I was in bootcamp :(
damned mothers.

I have a crapton of late 80s - early 90's football cards. Most are worthless, but I have a few rookies that might turn couple of dollars.

I've got a copy of the first 3 Spawn comics as well. I believe they had two versions - one with and one without some type of poster within. I just earned meep points for remembering that.

I had 2 large dresser drawers full back during Willy Mays last years with the SF Giants. They have disappeared along with the rest of my childhood. :-(
