Max WederMy "greatest" non-card discovery was picking up a book, Kevin Kerrane's Dollar Sign on the Muscle (c 1989, not vintage thus, but a great book). The gift inscription read something like:
"Dear Johnny, here's a wonderful book for Christmas. I know there's something in here I'm sure you'll enjoy, love Grampa".
Little Johnny was apparently a little light on literacy. When I opened the book, I found a crisp $10 bill in the middle, sitting there, unloved and unappreciated by little Johnny, who seemingly, along with the bookseller, had never opened the book completely.
When I showed the bookseller, he laughed and told me he should have taken more care, and that the money was mine as long as I bought the book, which I did for $6.
