My mother kept everything. When she and my dad moved, she gave me a box of all the horse show ribbons I won as a teen. I was in my 30's and really had no interest in them. I looked thru them, laughed about some, remembered some good times and chucked them all in the trash. I won them. I knew I won them. I didn't have to have the ribbon to remember that.
Some day when I retire and don't have an office with huge shelves in it, I'll probably box up my car show trophies and get rid of some of them. Nobody really wants most of the stuff. Trophies are plastic now and not made well like my dad's 300 game bowling trophy that no one wanted and I took and still have on the mantle.
