My mom did not throw out my cards.  I still have two large cartons of 
them, including an Enrico Caruso card.  However she did throw out the 
carton of my Long Player, Jazz 'n' Pops, and earliest Schwanns from 
58-60.  But I now do have an almost complete set of Long Player and Jazz 
'n' Pops in bound volumes (only missing first partial year), and have at 
least one Schwann from every year in the early 50s and am maybe 80% 
complete after 1960.
