How many blame mother?

[1963Topps Set]

I was lucky, my mom did not throw out my cards. We has an agreement, she would not throw them out if I kept them away. She gave me an old dress box where I kept my cards and never had them out in the way. I still have my cards today where I add to the collection from time to time.

Did anyone else manage to hold onto their cards.. Or did mom toss them?
