Well, most of it anyway.

I had to go dig around in my parnets attick looking for some old paperwork and when I was up there I saw one of my storage containers full of this stuff.



I know I have more games for NES and SNES and some games for my Sega. As well as my PS1 and PS2 somewhere up there. I also have 3 or 4 more crates full of comics and cards up there but it was too hot to go through it all or fight with taking it out. I just grabbed this one crate for the consoles really but these few comics and cards were in it as well.

I am actually pretty pumped they haven't thrown any of this away yet. My dad is anything but a pack rat and usually chunks this sort of stuff. I knew for sure my NES and SNES were long gone so if they work I am pretty GD pumped.

FWIW I also found my old He-Man, GI Joe, and Star Wars toys complete with a full Castle Grayskull and Ewok Village.

It's OK to be jealous.

BTW y'all are looking at a complete Fleer collection for that year in those binders with rookie cards such as Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Roddman, and a ton of others. I think John Stockton's rookie card is in there as well.

That box of Skybox cards are from the '91-'92 NBA season and have never been opened. Those Hokey cards are the same year and never opened either. All still shrink wrapped. It was pretty damn hard as a 11-12 year old kid not to open that shite.

Yeah, baseball cards were wasted on me as a kid. Probably why my parents only let me get Topps. I would always look at them and just throw them everywhere.

lol...It used to be in my old room until my parents built a new house and put all of my shite in the attic. That was 12 years ago so 12 years in an attic in hot and humid LA weather can age something. I will be shocked if it works.

One of my TVs has an antenna in but it's not an RF like on the old TVs. I wonder if it will still work? If not I have an old VCR somehwere I can loop it through I think.

Not me. I used to beg for cards every time we went somewhere then when I was 14-15 my older brother dated a girl whose dad owned a comic and card store. He shut it down when they moved away and she gave me tons of crap. I had a lot before but it like doubled my collection.

I even still have a box of the old Garbage Pail Kids somewhere.

I was a spoiled youngest child by 5 years so I pretty much got away with everything. My bro and sis are only 11 months apart on the other hand so they had to fight each other for stuff.
