I collected comics for years still do though not as adamantly my old collection was stolen and it really really is a nightmare to lose a comic collection

What? Roy never had a nightmare before? At his age?

Sheldon reacted the same when their flat was burgled, in ‘Big Bang Theory’.

those moms who got rid of their kids’ baseball cards and comics, and toys are suckers. they are kicking themselves when they found out that some of their kids stuff was worth tens of thousands of dollars. why do they always throw away stuff even when they know it is worth a lot more than 10 cents.

Roy hasn’t gotten around to reading those yet.

He’s had plenty. They always seem so real that he wakes up in a panic.

That’s a conundrum. If everybody kept those things, they wouldn’t be worth as much. Value is determined by scarcity and demand- if everybody wants it and there aren’t many around, it’s worth money. If everybody wants it and there’s one for everybody, then it’s not worth so much. What they’re really thinking is “I wish I were the only one who kept them and everyone else still threw them out.”

My uncle had a big collection of original comic strip art from the 30’s and 40’s. He used to write to the syndicates, and they would just send it to him. Back then, no one thought about it being worth anything. Then, when he was in the army, his mother threw it all out! And now, no one is going to send it to you for free!

My mom’s something of a neat freak, too.
Among her less spectacular moments was when she tossed $25 in gift certificates I’d accrued through a store’s rewards program.
Her excuse?
She mistook the envelope they were in for junk mail because my name wasn’t visible in the window in front after I’d put the paperwork back in.
Even though I’d clipped it to the calendar in the kitchen alongside the bills and other important correspondence.
This all came to a screeching halt when she decided to go through all of my dad’s old Army gear even after he told her not to touch it.
At one point in time, my dad did a lot of work with the Boy Scouts; when he retired, he anticipated doing a lot more work with them again. One of the duty stations he was at had an old CPR dummy that someone had shot at a few times, and so they were looking to discard it in favor of getting a new one. Rather than let it go to the trash, dad managed to pick it up so that he could use it when teaching the Scouts.
Mom found the duffel bag the dummy was in, unzipped it, and nearly had a heart attack because she thought she found a dead body.
After that, she’s left our stuff pretty well alone.

Wives throwing out their husband’s army stuff seem to be a classic tale. I guess the assumption is “He knows he doesn’t need this, he just won’t do anything about it.” Or something on those lines.

my books,collections,gone. My fault.

But a guy better not throw out something the wife had “collected”. All H**L breaks lose even if it was a 15 year old Penney’s advertisement that the field mice got into.

Had a baseball card collection from the 40s that was trashed.

I remember my mother threw away a lot of my saved stuff, my baseball cards (I had a rookie Mickey Mantle) my sci fi mags (my father’s Analogs and Astoundings from the 30’s and 40’s ) I was so furious I didn’t speak to her for weeks and she never did understand why I was so upset, she called my behavior “silly”
