I am 37.

I have going through these old boxes I kept in my closet when I was a teen. I have 30+ NES instruction books. Pizza Hut Book It papers, receipts from as early as 1989 and through 1993 ( Foot Locker--Reebok Pumps/Jordans, Kaybee Toys--Gameboy games, and Chess King). I also found a note from an 8th grade girlfriend.

I love this old junk!

Do you guys have any old crap stuffed away?

I think I have every sports illustrated from the 1996-2003 in the attic from my room. I don't know why I was obsessed with keeping them and arranging them correctly.

Umm, pretty much everything. I still have notes I passed in junior high. I try to purge a little every time I move. I'm a hoarder.

I also still have the casual button up shirt that I wore when I took my senior pictures in 94/95. It is a little small...amd I don't wear it...but it still hangs in my closet!

Well, I actually have the clothes I wore home from the hospital on June 10, 1977! I also have an LSU shirt with Snoopy and Woodstock riding in a purple VW Bug...it is a 1T. I have a Superman raincoat from 2nd grade.

Good stuff!

My toy cap guns and the western rig AND my cowboy shirt and pants that my mom sewed for me when I was 7, in 1959. I also have the mechanical pencil, sharpener, and extra leads from my first job. I also love to keep stuff for a while.

Edited to add - And my Louisville Slugger when Imwas 13.

I had an awesome GI Joe collection that I gave away to a family friend's son some years back. That little bastard broke them, lost their weapons, and just didn't take care of them in general. I wish I had kept them. I wouldn't mind having a GI Joe battle with my nephews from time to time... Even at 30.
