Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 2706033, member: 1646"] I still have a bunch of baseball cards starting in exactly 1980 (when I was 9). My mom threw away everything before then in a nuclear escalation of a war of wills we were having about cleaning my room. She went right from a third threat to throwing my stuff out. I still think I deserved at least five more threats. She won that battle, but the war continued until I moved into the Jungle. My 12 year old son will collect anything. He has Funkos that were referenced earlier and rubber ducks and has collected Pokemon cards or whatever was hot at the time. It was cute, but then he skipped baseball cards and went to sneakers. Thankfully he's only been able to afford a couple pair with birthday / holiday money. I took him to a couple shows and I think the guys in the subculture are bigger losers than the Star Trek guys in the famous Shatner SNL skit. [/QUOTE]
