How many collections lay dormant?

In the late 80's I was helping my Father clean up my Grandmothers basement and under the stairs in a box long forgotten by my Dad, was his mini hoard of 1958 Topps Baseball. He had somewhere in the neighborhood of 300+ cards, some rubber banded together, a lot just lose in the box with his high school yearbook and a bunch of paper's and stuff, that he had no idea was even there, he just assumed it made it out to the curb decades ago. There were 6 Mantle All-Stars and 2 regular issue Mantles, Williams, Mays, Cepeda etc... Not exactly a collection but stuff like this does exist... By the way, he gave me a Mantle All-Star that I traded for a complete set of 1984 Topps Baseball, I know someone just shoot me....
