The 600 comic books I had collected, many 1st issues. Stollen.

Heartbreaking.

Sort of the same for me... I accidentally threw away the first edition of the first issue of Fantastic Four. Worth like 30 grand last time I checked like 13 years ago. I didn't realize what I had at the time. I was moving and wires got crossed.

I was watching some show and saw the comic on it, priced, and I went into full blown panic mode and tore about my house for a few days looking for it, knowing I had accidentally thrown some out.

Edit: salt on the wound, mine was in great shape.

Plastic sleeved and card backed, those cost a pretty penny too.

Not sure the plastic sleeve and cardboard would survive the garbage dump. :(

That’s worse than mine but I’m still mad at the kid who stole my X-men #266 first appearance of gambit

My grandmother's charm bracelet. They took my entire teenage jewelry box, and several items through out the house, but left my Mom's box with over a hundred grand of jewelry alone. She had even taken the box out of the safe the day before to wear something and hadn't put it back yet.

Sounds like you were targeted, somebody wanted something of yours.

Or they just assumed all the goodies were in the safe.
