Yes, my Mom either threw out or gave away my cards, she couldn't remember which, that I bought in the late 50s at the check-out counter of Peoples Drugstore (now CVS). And I gave her some mild grief over the years. However, the loss is merely sentimental, not financial. We played with our cards, flipped them, put them in our bike spokes, etc. A protective sleeve was unheard of, at least by me. So they would not be worth much anyway. Nonetheless, that cartoon really hits home.
