The basement of broken toys.

I had to get to the store by 8:00 Sunday morning for the comics to be taken away. 135 long boxes, or approximately 40,000 comics. The roughly 100,000 sports cards are gone too.

There was undoubtedly good stuff in there, but we could never get to it. It was always down the list when things are working otherwise. It's like knowing you could make some money at a second job, but wanting to keep your main job. Anyway, what's done is done. 

It still leaves a ton of junk in the basement, though it gives me a bit of room to look around.

Basically, the basement is full of semi-interesting stuff that has no real value and yet I hate to throw away. Boxes and boxes of broken toys, promos of all kinds, tons of old magazines and price guides, defunct or broken equipment, still a huge amount of books and non-sports cards.

It's probably going to take a couple of weeks to move stuff. The original goal was to make room for all the used books and bookcases. Now I'm seeing that we have lots of other stuff we'll need to move too. The most useless stuff is stacks and stacks of old magazines, Wizards and Becketts, and old price guides. Have no idea why I saved those.

I'm going to dive in on the 1st of September and hopefully have it all done by mid-month for the plumbers.

It feels good to have that taken care of.
