Not an RV guy but if I owned one and sold it leaving behind a graded 53 Jackie, I don't think I'd be so generous to tell the purchasers to just keep it. Also, if I didn't collect baseball cards but saw hundreds of old cards from the early 50s, I think I'd do some research before selling lol.

A huge flaw I see in most of these stories is somehow coming into these graded cards from an elderly person's estate or some collector who doesn't have any care for them. Of course it's possible, but based on the circumstances, I don't think you'd find a slabbed card in your grandfather's childhood collection and I doubt an investor who had a graded Jackie, with a ~1 year old SGC slab, would be the type to just forget about it.
