In the first one, I lost the best card of my childhood for several months -- a 1985 Topps McGwire that I had autographed in person in October 1987. The second one, I lost my entire collection of baseballs -- including the ball that was the only foul ball I have caught on the fly during a game (Pudge Rodriguez hit it; Mariano Rivera pitched it). The card showed up in the bottom of my childhood closet; the balls in the back of my crawl space. And, much like you described, I had combed both my closet and the crawl space numerous times looking for them. Somehow they showed up in search #13.
