My parents were hoarders. In 1987. I found receipts for my father’s clothing purchases for the previous 60 years. And after he died in 1991, I found a photocopy of some very valuable autographs with the comment “I have the original” on it. But I had already trashed over 75% of his hoard by then, and he was dead. And that’s why you don’t discard things needlessly.
