I got rid of a dozen or so vinyl records many years ago and I'd love to have them back now, some are now worth an incredible amount of money. Fortunately I did keep another dozen or so records. I never imagined vinyl making a comeback or the value being so high.
I agree that streaming quality is great with high enough bandwidth and you aren't likely to notice any difference in quality, but you might not always have high bandwidth or even internet access at all.
A friend of mine found a bunch of brand new blank cassette tapes in storage a while back and he was able to sell them for a ridiculous amount of money on eBay.
I have lots of CDs and DVDs and I play them regularly. Streaming is great for certain things, but if it's something I want to watch, listen to, or read again down the road, I still go for the hard copy.

Thanks. It's the pipe I was really focused on when bidding on the auction lot, although there were many other good ones in that lot too. I'm very happy with it!
My brown ale that I kegged last week is now carbonated so we drank a few pints of that tonight. Good stuff. It never lasts too long since my wife loves it, so I'll need to brew again soon.
Amphora Special Reserve Black Cavendish in my recently acquired Pioneer Block Meerschaum army mount.
This meer needed a little work to make it smokable. There was a small hairline crack in the shank and the tenon mount was a little loose. Both issues easily fixed with a little CA, and it smokes...
