Near miss...Cards that you've personally taken out of existence...

[Tomman1961]

In 1988 me and my future wife were preping cards for my first show,to make a few bucks to help pay for the house we bought a few days before.We were in my bedroom at my parent's house laying the cards out. I was called to the phone in the kitchen.My fiance decides to make popcorn in the kitchen.So we both leave the room. When we come back,the (5) 1973 Topps EX-MT cards that we were grading and putting into sleeves were no where to be found.We searched that house all night.When I moved out of that house,my bedroom was literally empty.I even took the floor molding off the wall to look for those cards. My parents sold the house 12years later.Still no Willie. So I am single handedly responsible for lowering the supply of 1973 Topps Mays by 5 cards.
