...and comic books. In the little town I grew up in, I had an uncle who owned a small magazine and book store who sold comics too. Starting around 1956, I bought every 5 and 10 cent sci-fi comic book that came out. X-men, Iron Man,.....etc....I had them all. Of course when I outgrew them in my teens, I threw them away.
Sounds like we both had veritable “gold mines”, once-upon-a-time, HT? Who knew?
