Oh, and I have his rookie card too ..."

Yeah rookie cards are important for the value of one's collection. I have probably every NHL rookie card available from about 1990 onward.

Prior to 90, my collection is all over the place. I got started with a set my uncle gave me from 1968/69. It isn't mint, but it's still nice to have in the collection.

Ah...it's so nice hearing about people who's Mom *didn't* throw their sports cards out.

My husband had his all tidily packed away...until his Mom "cleaned" when he left home for college.

The comic books went, too.

Next to hearing about someone getting kicked in the nuts, that's the second thing that makes me wince most. Ouch!

My mom threw my brother's comic books out as well. Well, she didn't actually do it, she told the cleaning woman to clean out the bottom of my brother's closet and she threw out the boxes. He was devistated.
