My folks saved all my cards, but it was the mid 90's when I went to college, and by then of course everyone knew you weren't supposed to throw away baseball cards. The bulk of my vintage collection got temporarily stored in a safety deposit box when my folks moved around 1998, but I rescued the cards shortly thereafter.
My mother in particular was always a champion of my collection, from age 10 or so on. I rarely heard "no" when it came to cards. From junk wax at the grocery store, to my first true vintage prize (a '66 Koufax) and even Mantle cards - Mom would spring for me and then even endure it when my Dad would say "You spent HOW MUCH on baseball cards?" She was a special lady in that regard and I miss her very much...
