Shows and cleaning up the room when they are over.
I ran shows from the 70's through 2008 and I loved my business. I have many friends that set up as well as attended my events over the decades.
After a particularly busy 1989 show in Westboro, Mass, my friends and I started to gather the trash and there were a lot of empty wax boxes and cases everywhere because the new UD, Topps, Donruss, Fleer and Score BB was out.
I kicked what I thought was an empty case of 89 UD, and it was very heavy.
Upon opening it I found thousands of gem mint high end 50's stars in glass screw downs inside. i mean it had EVERYTHING like Bowman Mantle, Mays Ford rookies, and thousands of superb cards.
I secured the box in the office I used, and got out my brief case to locate the phone number of the dealer that owned them. I got in touch with him and returned his collection to him that afternoon.
This type of scenario happens once in a while when you promote shows.
I have lived my life doing the right thing like this.
