Speaking of looking in the attic, I used to buy Marvel comics in the 60s like they were going out of style. Spiderman, Thor, Fantastic Four, The Hulk, X-Men, Captain America, Daredevil, probably a few others I forgot.

Good lord, to have them all back again just like I bought 'em. We're talking serious money. My mother feels it worse than I do. She told me she can remember throwing them out. :bigcry:

Don't you just hate that. I have a bunch of comics from the 80's to mid 90's.

He has one prior sale - A marble for $350:eek: Heck with selling seat covers on Ebay, I am getting some marbels!

Mistress 06-07-2007 10:35 AM

You'd think with a $700 starting bid he could take a second picture that's in-focus.

Toys, Model Trains, Baseball Cars, Marbles...

How many times do you hear about mothers giving them away to neighbors (that are smarter) or just throwing them out??

Makes you think about, "Mother knows best" eh?

When I was a little kid I had a huge collection of McDonalds toys that were still in the package. One day my mom just gave them away to somebody. They would be worth a couple thousand dollars today.

Brings back fond memories of playing marbles as a kid. You'd dig the hole in the sand and flick them with your finger. Bumps, boulders, cat's eyes. The coolest kids had their marbles in those purple Crown Royal bags. ;)
