In Colorado, I have a friend who received a shoebox of cards from a coworker in 1997. The coworker cleaned out his grandparents home and found the box in the attic. Inside the shoebox was five partially-opened packs of 1952 Topps, two of which had #311 in it along with a few hundred other cards.

How about this one:
The "I robbed the hell outta' this old man by telling him that his cards are worth $50,000 when I knew I could get $300,000+ for them" find.

I was urban spelunking and came across this abandoned building with hundreds of cases of cards sitting on pallets and spilled all over the floor.
OH Wait, that did happen!!!

How about the "I bought a stack of old books and found these cards pressed between the pages" find?
Or the "When my grandfather was a wee lad, Babe Ruth came through his home town on a barnstorming tour and he got the Babe to sign this ball" find? Or the "My mother used to date Mickey Mantle in high school and she kept this lock of his hair" find? Or the most likely, "I bought a storage unit and found this trove of '89 Bowman and Score" find?
