I guess I came by the packrat gene honestly

I wonder if any of that stuff is worth anything. Perhaps you should consider putting some of it up on eBay.

Funny you should mention comics. This one is evidently kind of rare and from what I see goes for between $50.00 to $150.00.
Also this bit of political campaign stuff from the 1936 election.
FDR


 
Definitely don't be too hasty just to sell some of that at a gargage sale dirt cheap. Like those old camera's. Do a bit of digging, findout how much they might be worth.
What they are worth, and what people are willing to pay, is two different things. Unless it is ultra rare, and the right day to sell, and the right buyer. Those might be collector items.

Those camera's would look cool up on a shelf, as a nice little display. I've seen that done before. Looks good.

Those 78's those you may not get much for. Lots of goodies there. Keep some of them, as family treasures.

At this point I am not sure what we will sell and what we will keep. We can't keep everything because it is kind of silly to have stuff packed away in boxes to leave for someone else to move around after we're gone like we are doing now. On the other hand some of the stuff is definitely meaningful and will be kept. I found a ton of tintype photos that are unlabeled so we have no clue who they are. At the moment those seem to be the most valuable thing we have come across in terms of selling value but it would seem kind of strange to be selling photos of unknown ancestors.
