anyone ever checked on their childhood toys on ebay/google?

looked for a Fireball XL-5 space city set that I bought
a few times in the early 60's. Last Hake's auction it went
for $1500.00

Anyone else gone to school one day only to come back
one day to find that your parents decided that you were
too grown up for some things?

Gone were my original red line hotwheels, my baseball cards.
As kids of that generation we played with our toys and cards and
did not seal them in plastic and tuck them away in the attic for
all eternity, but it would have been nice to keep those.

I've bought a few Hot Wheels back (the Diora! Twinmill!)
as well as some of those cool 1960's
Batman cards and a Texaco gas red fire helmet with microphone.

Next on my recovery list is the Major Matt Mason crawler .
