Yes and I am sure some Librarian or some one who checked out the book I returned was very happy (if they were smart) It seems that when I was going over my collection (at the time) of paper money I inadvertently put my two dollar bill with red numbers down on the book and forgot about it and then closed the book. Today that two dollar bill is worth a fortune.

I grew up in New York City and was a Broadway Show groupie. My kid brother and I would wait outside the stage door and get autographs. I had autographed "Playbills" from about 50 plays and signed by stars like Barbara Streisand, Angela Lansbury, Robert Goulet, Zero Mostel, Kathryn Hepburn, Gwen Verdon, Bob Fosse, Ruby Keeler, Lauren Bacall, Debby Reynolds, Danny Kaye, and many, many, many more.
I tossed them all along with my jeans that I wore the entire weekend of Woodstock from the summer of '69.
WHAT WAS I EVER THINKING?

I lost a wedding ring in the leaves I was raking, and was burning. I raked and sorted through the ashes the next day, and found it untouched. But I don't think I have ever thrown away anything that I regretted losing, or that would be worth anything today. My childhood things were destroyed in a fire at my parents' house, so I didn't throw any of them away.
Of course I know that I probably have said, sometime or other, "if only I had known, I would have kept ____"!

Yeah but I quickly retrieved it before the trash men came! It was worth a fortune to me only.

maybe not a fortune, but when i was a young adult I had been building a very LARGE castle out of legos (very expensive toys! Spent more than 200 dollars), and when the ex-wife and I separated she gave it away! Might as well have been in the trash!

I think every thing I throw in the trash must be worth a fortune, because my neighbor is digging through it all the time. Nasty man! You should see the collection of junk in his yard!

I accidentally threw my wife's false teeth in the trash. They weren't exactly worth a fortune but to hear the hissy fit she pitched you'd think they were.

I would be very rich if i had'nt thrown away all my baseball cards from the fifties and sixties. I did keep a few though. Several of them i paid a nickel for back in the sixties and 2 years ago i sold a few of them and one of them i sold for 500 dollars. Several i threw away a long time ago now sell for up to 25,000 dollars apiece. Makes me want to cry.

OH YEAH...Boxes & boxes & boxes of betting tickets from the race track starting in the early 1930's & up to about 1970! My Dad left me a fortune & I never knew it. What a dumb a s s I was. He said he didn't want them, left them with me, then went back to live with his Sister & died! It wasn't until about 5 years ago that I realized what I had done & he died in the 80's! Those tickets were EVERYWHERE in our neighborhood because after I put them in the trash cans, we had a wind storm & they blew from one end of town to the other. Hundreds of thousands of hand printed tickets from the heyday of the sport. DOH...what an ignoramous I turned out to be! Hope he's laughing about it...R.I.P. Dad...I love you & I'm sooo sorry!

I had a folder of my mother's recipes in her handwriting that disappeared. I would NEVER have thrown it out; I think the ex may have done it although he denied it. I almost killed him; the man actually hid from me until I stopped screaming. It was worth more than a fortune; it was priceless. 20 years later, the thought still makes me tear up.
