Mom didn't touch my cards, I got rid of many complete sets of 1958 through 1962 myself. I remember the first set I collected, 1958 when I was 8, had 5 or 6 Mantles. I had so many 1960 Mantles I used to trade them for commons I needed. Smart, huh?
I sold the 58s-62s in "bricks" of 50 for a nickel to buy other things.
Mom did however throw out all my comics including issues 1-50 Fantastic Four, 1-30 Amazing Spiderman, and tons of other Marvels and DCs all in very fine to mint condition. Thanks mom.
(I still think you are the greatest though).
