I have heard that, about every ten years, most people find themselves sitting on a potential fortune, which they bypass because they don’t realize the value that they have. For me, it was the comic books which my mother threw out as soon as I left home – I had the original Wonder Woman – which sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I also had the first Lone Ranger ever published. Also Raggedy Amme and Raggedy Andy. Probably a lot of Pluggers wonder whatever became of those comics they had which later brought thousands of dollars.
My brother and I had lots of comic books and baseball cards, many of which would be quite valuable today, if our mother hadn’t thrown them all away. Of course, if mothers everywhere had kept them, there would be too many surviving and their value would be much less.
