I was another lucky one, my mom would never through away any of my old toys or cards. In fact, she recently gave me 2 unopened GI Joe vehicles and 3 unopened GI Joe figures from the 80's that she still had tucked away in her closet from when I was a kid. She said she never ended up using them as birthday or Christmas gifts so they just sat in her closet for the last 20 years. I sold them on eBay and padded my Paypal account rather nicely for more cards.
