    "The much more common story is it's worth much less than they anticipated, or perhaps almost nothing at all."

    A few years ago my Mom checked prices on eBay for things she had saved for decades. The "collector" Star Wars glasses from McDonald's in 1980? $0.50. So she started using them rather than uselessly saving them.

    She's quite practical that way. Thanks Mom!

    The next generation of antique stores are soon to be created to house it all!
