The same sort of thing happened to my mother...
My father always kept the newest magazine and comic books in his waiting room. Every week he would give me a dollar to go to the store and buy 10 new comic books, an assortment for younger kids and older. Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Sgt.Rock, etc., as well as Little Lulu and Donald Duck genres.
Every week my mother would take the old comic books and throw them into a box in the storage room, eventually adding the next box as one filled. When my father retired and sold his practice, my mother carted off all the old boxes to the incinerator room... There were 'First Editions' of virtually every new superhero after Superman and Batman... all in almost pristine condition.... She never had any idea people would actually pay for old comics.
