How many blame mother?

[Peter_Spaeth]

I had huge boxes of mid 60s to early 70s. My brothers and I weren't too rough on them so many must have been in pretty good shape. All tossed unceremoniously and without notice. And the thing is too, it's not like my Mom was averse to clutter -- she kept stacks of magazines and useless stuff.

My cards and most collectibles survived, but just about anything else I had as a kid didn't, mainly toys. I think most of it was passed to other relatives or possibly donated.

They did pitch my old Baseball Card News issues. I subscribed for a couple years and did want to keep them, but apparently the decision was made for me that I didn't need them anymore when I was in boot camp.

My mother never threw out any of my odd collections. From my collection of rocks, to my baseball cards. One day when I was in junior high. When I came home from school. I could see my father up in the bedroom that I shared with my brother. He was throwing clothing out of the bedroom window into the yard that didn't get put away the night before. My brother and I were about the same size. I just turned around and went over a friends house until 10:00pm or so. I got my butt kicked for being out so late on a school night. The clothing was still out in the yard, My brother was alseep. He woke up and said dad threw YOUR cloths out the window. I guess my father would have thrown my cards out too. I never did anything right at home. My brother NEVER did anything wrong.

Mom never threw out my baseball cards, but she did throw out my comic books. Years later, I think she was more pissed about that than me.

My Dad's collection of 50's and 60's cards were tossed but it actually turned out to be a good thing. He went on an adventure to buy back" his paper heroes and took me along for the ride. I wrote about it in my book that just came out.

....and I enjoyed reading the book immensely. Nice job, Chris!

My mom never threw out my cards, but she did give my comic books to low-means school children (I tried to type underpriveleged, but dang-it, I can't spell the darn thing).
