I'm beginning to feel sick

Complete sets of Topps football and hockey 1972-75. Sold all 8 sets for $20 total in 1984.

Had 113 different Star Wars figures, still on the cards, bought between 1977 and 1984. Got married and sold all for .50¢ each at a flea market in Lincoln in 1989. But we were broke, and food seemed a better investment.

Wow. Those are worth approximately 80 million dollars today.

Really? I know they are worth a lot but not that much!

I've got at least 50-100 still on cards and quite a few of the ships, worlds, etc. still in box mint. Same goes with a few of the original transformers. I'm the perfect age for those and my parents seemed to have bought two of everything...one for me and my brothers to play with, the other as a backup when they inevitably got broken. But we revered Star Wars and Transformers enough to play nice. My parents to this day still have them locked away in storage.
