It's MOVES, moreso than MOMS, that lose cards....
In any event, when my Uncle Chris died, I convinced my parents to have my Aunt Anna move in with us.
As a teenager in the 1950's, I worked with my Aunt in their restaurant. We had some tense moments; but, we were family and we always had a great rapport. Anyhow, when I was in the Air Force (1960-1964), my Mom was on clean-up campaign and started putting my cards in the trash to be disposed of. My Aunt recovered all of my cards and put them in a safe place for me. She told my Mom, in her inimitable Greek...."are you crazy sister, Teddy will dis-own us, when he comes home and cannot find his BB cards". Many years later in 1977, my young daughters got me interested in BB cards again. So, I went to my sister's house (she bought our home that we grew up in....Hillside, NJ) and found all my BB, FB and non-sports cards in the attic. My collection from my youth includes cards from...... 1947 Bond Bread 1948 Bowman.....just a dozen cards 1949 Leaf Boxing.....complete set of 49 cards 1949 Leaf BB & FB....many cards (no scarce #s) 1949 Bowman BB.....near complete set 1949 Bowman Wild West 1950 Bowman BB & FB.....near complete set of BB 1950 Hopalong Cassidy 1951 Bowman BB & FB.....many cards (no Hi #s) 1952 Bowman BB.....only the first 72 cards 1952 Topps.....250+ cards, including Mickey Mantle TED Z
