A few years ago I finally took the vibrating football game from my Dad's house that had been there for over 50 years (my parents kept many of our old toys for years at their house for grandkids - choking hazards and other safety issues be damned - including original old school metal jarts ) Rescued may be more appropriate- I was moved to take action after I believe he mistakenly got rid of the slot hockey game from the same era that I told him to never get rid of
I also made sure many years ago to grab the football, basketball (including Buffalo Braves) and hockey cards my brother and I both collected in the early 70's. We had complete or almost complete sets of football cards years 71-74 (I'll always remember Frenchy Fuqua he was the only player missing from one year). They had sat there for years as a kind of neutral zone so my brother and I didn't have to address the issue of who would get them or how to split - i think he thinks they are still there 😛
