My stepmother threw out a comics collection that, if I’d held onto it, would probably be worth a couple million today.

So sad. My brother collected every DC and Marvel comic from 1964 to 1967. He must have had a couple of footlockers full of them. He grew bored with them in his mid teens and threw the whole lot away.

The value would be ridiculous today.

I had originals of almost every comic made by Marvel between 1977 and 1984 ish.

They're only valuable because everyone threw theirs away! Even then, the market for stuff that Boomers find valuable will never be what it was. If you held on to anything past 2008, whether comic books, baseball cards, or Fender guitars, you missed out. That train has left the station. The upcoming Millennial and Gen-Z folks will never place much value on any of this stuff and as Boomers start dropping like flies, estate sales are going to be full of old comic books. Few people are going to want them.
