    My Masters of the Universe, GI Joe and Transformers toys.

    My comic book collection that I sold to my cousin for $30 so that I could buy some records.

    got totally ripped off. These were from the late 80s early 90s which to me were the 2nd golden age of comics.

    over 400 books. at least my cousin still has them.

    I was big into Batman, X-Men, & Fantastic Four books.  Collected Batman, Detective, Shadow of the Bat, Legend of the Dark Knight, X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, X-Factor,  Generation X, Cable, & Fantastic Four.

    I had the entire Batman Knightfall/Knightquest/KinghtsEnd series as well as the entire Zero Hour crossover.  Had the entire X-Men: Onslaught series and Marvel Heroes Reborn.  I was big into the 2099 titles as well.  Had all the first issues of every title and continued collecting X-Men 2099, Fantastic Four 2099, & 2099 Unlimited.  Had a bunch of Dark Horse comics and few other indies.
    I drove them all out to some place in Dayton, OH back in '01 when I was jobless for a few months and needed money. Had a box of CDs and VHS tapes as well, got close to $400 for the lot, which was an entire month's income at the time.

    I still have all 12 original Watchmen comics somewhere. No idea what they're worth, but those were some of the only comic books that I kept. Actually, I might still have a few old Rock 'N' Roll Comics as well. Anyone remember those?

    Yep. if you have the GNR issue or Nirvana they are pretty collectible.

    Watchmen originals in good shape should fetch a nice price too.

    I had the APBA version of baseball board game. I played S-O-M football.

    I played the hell out of that thing- sometimes even by myself with two teams.

    I don't know where it is, but I'd love to have kept that game as well. I might have to go dig around my parents' place for it- although the likelihood of it still being there is minimal at best.

    nice, do you get updated player cards or just play the old ones?  I so wish i kept my old ones.  a few years ago i looked into the Windows version but never made the move.

    I usually get the updated cards.  I am in a retro draft league on the CPU version that is currently in 1982 and we require the new version every year.  There is a discount if you buy the cards along with the CPU version.  I play a lot of the hockey game and that is past seasons (although I own many modern ones as well).

    They don't really re-print cards so some seasons are hard to find and there is a re-sale market.  The company currently doesnt offer anything between like 1969 and 2003 (other than 1982?).  CPU though everything is available.

    I never really liked Risk.  That being said I still have that board game (might have been my parents, not sure if it's an original but it's pretty damn old!)

    Thinking about games- the one I wish I'd kept was Elmer Wheeler's Fat Boys Game.  There was something very old-timey nostalgic about that game.  IT was a simple board game but it had these great cartoon like illustrations and it was all about food!

    I also had this building block set that was really cool.  It had these little interlocking blocks that could be made into sky-scrapers and was more interesting than simple blocks and more modern than Lincoln Logs- although those were cool too!

    Often something will elicit some memory from the past and I'll wonder what my childhood friend is doing now. Such simple times back then Inshared with some great pals.

    Go get that bear .  Bring him home 
    He's long gone. That cousin and her parents had absolutely no idea that it meant anything to me. By the time I found out where it had gone it was too late, because my mom actually lied to me about where it had gone once she saw I was so mad about it. She said she'd chucked it out, I think because she felt it would be embarrassing if the family she gave it to discovered that she'd just stolen it from me. I only found out where the teddy had really gone when I was at the family's house for some dinner a year or two later, and spotted him in a corner, all destroyed, ready for the trash. Even then I took my mom aside and confronted her about it then and there, saying I was going to take it back, and she literally freaked out and forbade me from saying anything ... Obviously I wish I hadn't let her convince me not to. Perhaps I could have fixed him up, cleaned him, sewn up the holes.... So there you have it, the Jones family teddy bear saga, where my mom comes out the villain, lol.
    I think it burns as bad as it does because I was actually the exact opposite of spoiled as a kid, to the point where I barely had any toys at all, and that was the only plush toy I ever had as a child. It's not like he was just my favorite teddy. He was my ONLY teddy. :cry:
    My heart breaks just reading this.  That was a really unkind and thoughtless thing that she did.  I can see that it is still a raw wound for you.  (((Hugs)))

    I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?
