24. For a while I was upset that I sold all my vinyl albums at a yard sale. I didn't even have them

out, they were in a box in the closet and some guy came by asking if I had albums and I just sold them.

My Cheech and Chong album Big Bambu - the giant rolling paper was in pristine condition - lol!

I am one of those moms that did not throw her kids toys out. They are 28 and 26, still have all their beanie babies, pokemon cards, polly pockets, legos etc.

My husband and I were just talking about how people don't really collect any more. Back in the day, if you wanted to collect baseball cards I think you got them with gum, maybe 5 cards? Now you can buy the whole year of cards - my SIL buys them for my son - he has probably ten full sets, unopened and not much use for them.
