Got some old gaming PC Gaming boxes

Old manuals of Diabloe, Command and Conquer.....think they are worth anything these days?

[GeneralSnake]

Just the manuals? Probably not. Even Final Fantasy III manuals for SNES are only a few bucks. And diablo and C&C dont compare at all to FF III.

[BigTwinky]

they could make good firestarter...

And the flames would be cool colors because of the ink.
Maybe birds will make nests out of them, or rats or something. Or you could just hold onto them until we are all old dying men(the ones that arent already) and then we could sit around and share things from this time, like your diablo manuals and all the other then ancient trinkets we all will save.

Heck, I got the special Ed. C&C where it comes with a Pewter GDI soldier...some of those boxes are "shiney limited Ed." boxes.

I have the Windows 95 manual from my parent's second computer that we owned when I was in like early middle school.... When I was moving out last summer we cleaned out their computer room to find what was mine and I dug that out of the bookcase in the computer room. I just couldn't make myself throw it away, lol.

I'm packing up to move and found what I thought was gonna be a gold mine. Three football cards from 1991 with this dude in a black uniform with a 4 on the front. Name of Favre. Checked it out....$1 each. Sad Rico.

My wife threw away some old trading cards that I used to have. Most of you might not remember them, some may, but they were "Mork and Mindy" trading cards. I had probably 200 of them. She didn't realize what they were so she tossed them. They were in the original mork and mindy LunchBox with thermos. IDK where I got them from but I've had them since I was a kid. I never got into that kind of thing, but somehow they managed to get lugged around over the years. I am not sure if they were even worth anything.

I do have a Signed Greg Maddux and a John Smoltz (signed) rookie card.

Back when Mark McGwire broke the home run record, I got this big plaque with his picture and engraving of the record/year/etc and it is signed also... not worth a crap now.

Baseball cards in general are almost worthless, and have been since the strike. Which sucks because I used to have some good cards.

The Mork and Mindy stuff would have had to be worth something on E-Bay. Who tosses out vintage lunch boxes? Most people know that there are collectors for those things.

Man, that is sad. I sold Pokemon cards to a card shop(card shops rip you off hardcore) a few years ago for WAAY more than that. Some of them were worh 15$. I probably could have sold them to a kid for hundreds if kids had that kind of money.
I have magic cards worth more than that too. Magic is cool. Both kinds.

[JohnyRico]

The most valuable cards I ever had and ended up tossing was a set of Elvis Presley cards from the 70's. None were more valuable than the others but I used to see them at comic conventions for about $5 each.

Now I can't even find any local shops willing to even look at my old comic collection. I thought the oldest X-Men (#5 and 4 of the first 14) would get at least some passing interest. E-Bay I guess.

I've got a box full of Magic the gathering cards. Ive got a Black lotus, The elder dragon set of six, some shivan dragons,and a pile of other cards. They were worth a fair chunk of change I think I should sell them.
