I grew up on a healthy dose of "throw sh|t away," despite my parents being the polar opposite to that theory. So I don't have much of a problem with that, except I am keeping all my Pogs and the few comic books I got.
I don't think the comic books are ever gonna be worth much, but I have so few it doesn't matter. However, I have like 1,000 Pogs all in one big binder. And I don't know if anyone played that crap a few years back, but there was a series of pretty crass holographic Pogs called Slugs that I have the whole collection of. I think that could at least be worth something, because someday Pogs will come back. Mark my word!
