If I'd kept the comic books, Mad magazines, and science fiction paperbacks all nicely wrapped in plastic, they'd be worth more than your saved allowance, even allowing for compound interest. -g- It takes a certain kind of person to do that, and it's not me. My grandson has a pile of Ugio cards (don't know if I spelled that right, I'm not into it myself). They're all tattered and worn. One of his friends has a similar interest, but his are all neatly put away in little plastic pouches in three ring binders. If one had the foresite to know which toys or knick knacks would someday fire the rich collectors imagination, and the room and stability to safely store and shlep them around for 50 years, I'm sure there would be money in it. Again, that's just not me. Especially the stability part.-g- ARS
