If you won those Fig Newtons years ago I would definitely get rid of them. laugh2

I have a bunch of wallys and plaques and trophies from all the years that just set around and collect dust. I thought about tossing some but then I thought about how much time and money I spent trying to win them. When you look at it that way makes them harder to get rid of.

Told the Mrs just to set them around the flowers at my funeral.

Then she can toss them in the trash. whiney

I had the same dilemma a few years ago. Tired of dusting, moving etc. Someone gave me the suggestion to donate them to the Special Olympics. They end up changing them around some. They were very thankful and I am sure it made a bunch of young athletes happy.

My wife sold a bunch of my old drag race trophies years ago at one of her yard sales after getting tired of dusting them, she kept the money also whiney rant whistling

Same here. The only runner up trophy I ever saved is from the NHRA Div 1 Race of Champions. And its still makes me sick when I look at it. I redlighted and the other guy missed the tree. Could have coasted to a win.
