shai Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I acquired a set of Akira first US edition (circa 1988) 1-mid 20s and the first three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books in the late 90s, all in excellent condition...I was between jobs, so I read them then took them to a friend's comic book shop thinking they might pay my rent or something. I ended up getting about $175, and the bulk of that was for the first Akira and the TMNTs (which are worth considerably more now...oh well). Point being it was a score that I didn't know the value of at the time, so I probably got took to some degree but it ended up helping me out when I needed it.

Guest Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 i'm stoked knowing at some point my seed will get a bunch of cool shit from when i was a child. i got passed a bunch of cool old toys from the 20's, some cast iron cars and what not. come to find a bunch of those guys are worth quite a bit of money now. of course i was a child and i ruined them but you get the idea. trash one day gold the next. edit; maybe 2 or 4 years ago i was at a minor league game and they had the whole place filled up with card vendors huckin what would have been dream cards for me as a child for super cheap. i seent hank aaron cards for 5 bucks. tobacco cards from the 1910's and 20's for 10 bucks a piece. i hope more people stop giving a fuck so i can go ham and buy all the gems i couldn't as a kid. i'll do the same as when i was 5. keep them in a box, in plastic. then take them out and put all the favorites out in front of me and look at them and then put them away. boom. I just bought marvel universe series 3 &4 cards for that reason Pulling em out of their box and looking at them Mint condition sets going for $10-20 eBay so why not Something my 10 year old self would be hyped about.
