My parents cleaned out their attic..JACKPOT..Pics Inside

So my parents cleaned out their attic for the first time in twenty years. They found three boxes of my old stuff and told me to take it or they were throwing it out! Below is just a sample of what was in those three boxes.

I’m sure these items don’t have much real value because they are so worn but they are priceless to me in sentimental value. I can’t believe I was cool enough to be caring around my marbles in 5th grade in a Crown Royal bag. Not to brag but that’s pretty bad ass looking back on it.

What kinds of cards are those next to the army men? If they are baseball cards I'd be curious to see.

EDIT: Looking at them again, they look a bit too thick for baseball cards.

That's really cool! I love finding old stuff. It's like a time capsule.
Guys in The Car Lounge would splooge over the M635CSi model.

The A Team van is sweet, but that M635CSi model is something else

You should finish building it and put it in a display case or something.

I was obsessed with the old 6-Series as a kid. I still think it's one of the best looking cars ever made.

Nice! Since my place doesn't have a basement, I still have all my old matchbox cars, Star Wars toys, and garbage pail kids stashed in my parent's basement.
