As a kid had comics, coins, stamps and baseball cards. Don't know where they are but if I could find them all probably worth millions of dollars.

Today it is tee shirts and baseball caps. Worth about 2 cents.

I auctioned my coin collection before I moved, majority sold at silver value but a few good things, I got around $600 for that. Tried to auction the stamp collection, which had lots of new plate blocks and such, the auction house said use the stamps. Nothing rare and they would not even get face value our of the unused stamps. I gave them to a stamp collector friend didn't want to put 8 to 10 stamps on each envelope. Both collections were started when I was a kid and not much done with them for 50 years or more.

We inherited a couple of  huge boxes of stamps from my wife's great aunt. Thought we were rich.

Found pretty much what you did. So greatly disappointed.
