How many collections lay dormant?

Yes a lot of super collections out there and probably a couple T206 complete sets with the big ones as well nobody knows about. I know of one virgin collection put together through the 1960s-early 90s with all the prewar and 19th century bought in the 1970s and early 80s. He was a sort of type collector so had everything you could think of. He has atleast 30 old judge cabinets maybe more, I thought the cabinets were regular old judge until I first saw the small ones, he also found a booklet with the cabinets glued inside at a garage sale in the 1970s that has who knows who in it. I tried to go look at the collection in hopes of buying it a year ago and my old friend didn't even know where they are boxed up as he quit collecting years ago since it got to expensive and then I moved to CT. My dad went to see him last fall to see if he wanted any help in trying to find the old stuff but he said he has no interest in them or money for them so pretty much giving up. This collection could end up being tossed out depending on who does what when the collector who is ill passes away, I sure wanted to see what he had but it wasn't meant to be..........
