Actually, I have three.  Wish I had more.

No, but there are a few things that I'm glad never to have thrown away.
And other things that I did throw away and wish I hadn't.

Sometimes I've thrown things away and regretted it later.  For example, in
the mid-1960s, just before they started to become valuable collector's
items, I got rid of almost all my comic books for 2 cents each.  I had
some, like the first appearance of Supergirl and the first appearance of
red Kryptonite, that would be worth money now.

I used to get the WCOP top 40 sheets every week.  And there was one from
WBZ, too.  But most of the WCOP ones and all of the WBZ ones, I threw away
when that week was up.  I'm not sure why I kept the ones I have.  I kept
the WWEL dial card because it was a convenient guide to the FM dial at the
time.  And then I just forgot it was there until someone mentioned it.  At
one time I used to subscribe to a monthly WERS program guide.  In fact,
since it was free, I think I probably stayed on their mailing list until
they stopped publishing it.  That was back in the 1960s, when they did
mostly classical music.  I never saved any of them.  There also used to be
a WCRB program guide back then.  I bought it regularly, but I don't think
I have any of them now.
