Dan ElsassWell, hate to bring up ex-wife stories but... I will first premise this message with saying that she did NOT get what I had in my safe deposit boxes (all of my Vintage cards), Thank God she was never on the access list to get to them! However, the down side to this story is that I did lose my entire "home" collection while on a Submarine deployment back in 1989. She decided that 3 months was just too long to wait for her husband to come home, so she decided to leave. She sold all of my cards for a couple hundred bucks to some card shop in Charleston, SC for her U-haul money. What I lost, besides a great dog, complete baseball sets from 1963 to 1975, complete football sets from 1969 to 1975 and a few other tough sets plus tons and tons of rookies and stars from that era.
I have never really gotten back in to collecting those years of cards because it makes me miss my dog so damn much.
