Well, that's pretty much what happened to eventuate the great Black Swamp Find of a few years ago. Defiance, Ohio family owned a market around the turn of the last century and when candy salesmen dropped by, they left boxes of E-98 cards as samples to be distributed with their caramels. The store owner simply piled up the cards in his home attic because he apparently had no other storage place for them, and a century later, his heirs found them still sitting there, in pristine condition and worth millions.
