Default Collector's Nightmare - the trashcan

I think I accidentally threw away a box of pins when I did a major house cleaning a few weeks ago. Last week while continuing to inventory (I decided to downsize a bit) I noticed that some pins I had recently sorted through were missing. This past weekend I did a methodical house search with no luck. Now I keep picturing them 10 feet under mounds of trash at the dump, never to be seen again. It's a horrible feeling.

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what's missing (hopefully no cards), but it's tough. Here's what I know so far:

1898 Cameo Pepsin Brooklyn (purchased at the National this year)
1909-12 PX7 Domino Disc extreme miscut (Russ Ford/Tex Erwin)
1933 Cracker Jack Dazzy Vance
1947(48?) Jackie Robinson ROY
Some high grade PSA 1956 Topps & Yellow Basepath pins
several PX3's and PX7's
several 1950's Brooklyn Dodgers charms
1960's large Sandy Koufax b&w stadium pin



Has anyone else done anything this dumb or have other tragic loss stories?
