HOLD ON TO YOUR COMICS AND MAGS -- The future's only round the corner

I’m pretty sure there are many like me who have a predisposition to hoard. The Aladdin’s Cave of any home is the attic or loft where all the unwanted stuff gets piled away and is forgotten — out of sight, out of mind. My attic is the home to many of my kids’ (now grown up) old toys and comics, lovingly preserved and boxed so that one day they can be passed on or auctioned to the highest bidder.

However, go to my My blog page at Wordpress and discover one of the major blunders of my life where thousands of pounds or dollars just frittered away because of my thoughtlessness and lack of care to detail. You can also watch a YouTube video giving you count by count of the agony in The Cringe.

If you enjoy reading this, please pass on to others who you may feel have fallen to the same fate. I reckon that many folk will have similar experiences and will want to share their encounters with what could have happened if only . . . .

Comment by GERI'S BOOK REVIEWS on March 9, 2011 at 5:59pm: I've known so many people over the last 40 years who certainly can relate. I used to be one of those who saved everything, and those I knew who were rat-packs never knew what Valuables they had stored away for decades.

It's Amazing & scary at the same time to think how many people sold Valuables at garage-sales, Not knowing the True Value or simply threw away items they had no idea would be worth a fortune some day. Another Great Read. Thank you for Sharing. Interesting,with good food-for-thought. Something Everyone should read, regardless of age!
