aw ma,why'd you throw that out!!! (collector's nightmare)

My moher knew etter than to do suf like that. Had she done it, I would have sowed her exactly what it was worth. LOL Mind you my collection is od really old 78 RPM records, so those are kindof hard for a mother to find worthless. Also, I had the room to take them with me when I moved out of the house, thank goodness.

My mum is very good and wont throw my stuff out unless Ive told her I dont want it!! I have most of my Wallace and Gromit stuff at my mums from when I lived their 6 years ago. She knows not to throw them out but when I was their last we went threw the boxes that were in the wardrobe and were able to condense them down to what I wanted to keep, throw away and what could be given to charity shops!!

Im not sure how much the Wallace and Gromit stuff is worth but I have been collecting 1998ish!! I have a few duplicate items and am thinking of selling the duplicates!! I do browse eBay but I try not to bid as I end up doing some crazy bidding!!

Yes!! She got rid of thousands of baseball cards that I had collected, even some that were still in the pkg with the gum in it. She is sorry but that doesn't help me any now...Lori

Hi scarlet_woman! Oh that is so frustrating when it happens to you. However, it didn't happen to me yet. haha..Anyway, my husband is a collector of so many things such as toys, comics, cameras, stamps and more. He loves his Star Wars collection, ET, A Team, Super Powers, Japanese robots, and a lot more. One day, he was looking for his ET mask which is in great condition and is worth a lot because a friend of his convinced him to sell it to him. He had kept it in his shelves at the storage room at the back of our house. And months before that, his mother was looking for something at that storage room and saw that ET mask and the maid said that she got it and gave it away. The maid whispered to me that mother-in-law took it and the maid was scared to tell my husband who took it because my mother-in-law told her not to tell anyone. Yikes! haha..Until now, my husband is looking and wondering where his ET mask is. I wanted to tell him but I know it will stir up some trouble. So, I am still keeping my mouth shut. Although he has his suspicions that his mother was the one who took it but can't confirm it because his mother denied it. It is frustrating though!
Take care and God Bless!

My dad lost his baseball cards like that when he went into the Navy at 18. When I got really into baseball cards when I was about 10 or 12, I about died when I heard that!

My brother and I lost all of our action figures--Star Wars, He-Man, Transformers, Go-Bots, etc. My mom isn't even entirely sure what she did with them! There's a remote possibility that they're still at our dad's house, but finding anything in that house is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
