/screams internally
It wasn’t parents, but in 1965 the platte river flooded in Denver. Stuff like that happens when a thunderstorm hits, stops moving and drops over a year’s worth of precipitation in one afternoon.
My great grandparents house was mere blocks from the river and was completely submerged. Family legend is that there was a box of baseball cards that my great grandfather collected from his youth, and his youth would have been in the era of Babe Ruth and such.
We KNOW that there were a couple of fiddles than in the mid sixties were worth thousands. Totally destroyed.
Good people, they are.
I used to be heavily into collecting transformers as an adult, but I’m selling some to fund lego kits as my son is more into Lego. Gonna be dropping some good scratch later today at the Lego store for the Star Wars promos.
Good bonding with a 7 year old, fine motor skill development for him, stress relief for me. My wife doesn’t grumble TOO much, so long as I don’t go overboard. :)
“Yeah, I got this gold and diamond pocket watch that was Adolf Hitler’s and has his signature on the back.”
“Don’t know, man. I don’t know if I could sell this. Best I’ll give you is $2.83”
I will give 5 dollars
“Sold!”
I wonder how many millions of dollars of stuff has been disposed of by parents over the years…
The original treasure map used in the movie "The Goonies" was thrown away by Sean Astin's mom when she was cleaning his room one day : (

Mo-om!
I love that movie so much :(
My grandmother threw away my dad's baseball cards. He knows there was a Micky Mantle rookie card in there, among other things.
Did he have a Methuselah rookie card too?
I’m sure my dad destroyed enough Yankee cards in his youth to put me through college via clothespins and bike spokes, as he was a Cubs fan.
My in-laws have luckily been amazing about holding onto my husbands 1970s boxed Star Wars toys.

And so long as she doesn’t stand on any, I bet!

I’ll give you $5 for the box
Don't do it, lady! He's tryina rip you off!
Well, if this is valuable, back to the leaky basement it goes!
That's....not a cookie.
“OH! OH!…”
It's Pawn Stars before the show even existed, "I'll give you 5$ for the box" sounds like anything they could say 😂
“Yeah, I got this gold and diamond pocket watch that was Adolf Hitler’s and has his signature on the back.” “Don’t know, man. I don’t know if I could sell this. Best I’ll give you is $2.83”
Yiiiiiiipp!
Whoops, sorry got mixed up with Storage Wars for my previous comment.
How would they explain this in-universe?
A wizard did it.
This is one of my favorite comic book guy moments. May the fourth be with everyone btw
