No, it's not BS. We've lived in the same home for almost 34 years. It was put in a box when we moved there and it's just stayed in that box. The other night while watching a "picking" I think was the name of the TV show, the topic was comic books. My husband commented that he had a comic book similiar to that one in a box stored in the closet. Sure enough, it was a Fantastic Four, 1961, First Edition. It was the only comic that he had kept from when he was a kid (He was born in 1949). My Barbie dolls are in another closet, still in the boxes they came in. We were never blessed with children, so these things have just been stored.
