If something is discarded it is fair game for whomever finds it. Never done it, never intend to do it, but won't complain if someone finds treasure in my trash. I had my chance. Can't expect someone to ask me if I meant to throw it away.

The board was ready to convict the new seller. Almost two months past between the expected delivery and the listing. Who knows where the card was or who had it during that time. All I am saying is there is no reason to jump to a conclusion.

But I do owe the OP an apology as based on his description of the trash, it is more likely than not this is the result of no fault of his own.

And I certainly hope the OP will update this thread as to the conclusion.
