- Here's mine -
Sometime during my freshman year in college (1985-86) I either lost, accidentally threw out or let someone borrow and forgot to return my first 4 or 5 issues of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Eastman and Laird. And yes, they were first printings. Also, I was probably drunk at the time.
Oh well, if someone can top this, I feel really sorry for you.

- I can't top it...thank . Mine actually had a happy ending.
In 2004, after moving from Pittsburgh to Johnstown, I was unpacking all my intercompany crossover posters. I couldn't find my mint condition promo poster for Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man from 1976 ANYWHERE! I was SICK. I opened box after box. I mean...i was sick!!!
I gave up after a couple of weeks, convinced that I'd left it on the front porch of the house we'd moved from. Our old landlord said he didn't see it, but I figured some kid snarrfed it up. Then...
...when opening a chess set box, of all things...there it was! I must have packed it there so it would be seperate and safe!
Since this thread was started on Halloween...I'll have to say the poster looked "BOO"tiful!

- Really? No one has a horror story about their comics? Someone's mom must have tossed some out ...

- I was always very stern with my mom when I was a kid... no throwing out of anything. Luckily enough, she respected that

- I had a cat that decided a long box of comics was a litter box.

- Rule number 1 about selling comics on ebay, "Don't give it a grade, the buyer will always disagree with you."

- That fact that you mentioned a grade allows them to disagree with you. You should mention what you see is wrong with the item and leave it at that. Any additional opinions all room for disagreements.
