I had tons of comics, but none survived Mom.

I had a boatload as well. My Grandmother worked at a drug store in the late 60's and she gave me all the unsold comic books after the new ones came in and I had a stack over two feet high at one point. If I had all the comic books that ran through my bedroom I could probably retire. Don't get me started on all the baseball cards I had back then. I'd be a millionaire.

We had a small grocery store. Every year, I think it was topps, the salesman gave me a complete set of b-ball cards. I had circa1954-59

Had many comics including the first superman giant.

Moved to cal in 59, unpacked, no cards, no comic books. My sisters Elvis posters and 45s all missing.

My mom said she didn’t think we would need them.

I got a sports illustrated as a guilt gift from my parents. Still gave it today.

My son had Spider-Man and amazing Spider-Man. Had first edition of one. One day after he grew up took them to a comic show in Sacramento and sold the whole bunch.
