Companies clean out their files and throw things away. You see it all the time on Antiques Roadshow. Someone will come in with something that was being tossed out where they work, and no one realized these things have any value. I remember reading in SCD years ago, how someone around where Topps printing was done, found the aluminum printing sheets inside of the walls of his house. They apparently had been pulled out of the trash and had been used as building material for parts of the wall.
