Message:: [QUOTE="GinoLR, post: 8204638, member: 128351"]Thoughts and prayers for your comics collection of the 1960s... The same thing happened to my mom, who when a child had the almost whole collection of the pre-war "le Journal de Mickey" (a French version of Mickey Mouse Magazine) until it ceased publication in 1940. But in the 1950s there was a charity who cleaned for free all old stuff from houses, and my grandfather told them they could take everything including the old Mickeys. When my mom came home from work later this day, she could only realize the disaster. When I was a teen, I had already the beginning of my little collection of ancient coins. One day, before we had to leave for vacation, my mom decided all valuables had to be brought to the bank and kept in a safe in case of burglary. She packed all her own jewels and other such things, but when she opened my room to take my coins too, it was a total mess, I had prepared nothing. No time left to gather the coins, she was angry and told me that "messy people like me will be robbed". She did not carry my coins to the bank. When we came back no burglar had dared to rob our home, I found my mess as I had left it (including my collection), but the bank had been robbed, people had dug a tunnel from the sewers, broken into the underground chamber and taken everything from the safes.[/QUOTE]
