Damn, Zip, what is it with Mom's throwing out your cherished possessions when you go join the military? Not only did my Mom toss my National Lampoon collection, she chucked my mint condition entire set of 1969 baseball cards. (To this day I can't bring myself to investigate what those would have been worth now.
)
Mom also sold all my darkroom equipment at a tag sale for dirt cheap. She did all that in the name of cleaning out old stuff and making room.
