Well, that's what happened with this card:

This just sucks, never happened to me before. The worst part of this, it's not the money being lost, it's just how unique the card is, and I'll never be able to hold it.

I know it's not a Cobb T206, but it is to me. It's my Cobb. He is a tough autograph, on an early card. I'm young, and I may have only spent $100, that's still a lot for me. I don't care about how much it is, because you can't necessarily put a price on the monetary value of this card.

RIP Frankie

BTW, contact Leon and see if he can change your vote in the poll to "No".

Not cards that I was expecting. But occasionally, I'd grab the mail on my way out of the house, and open it in my van... I had a few cards in a compartment, that I just didn't take into the house yet.. When I finally decided to junk the van, I apparently cleaned every compartment but that one. Nothing expensive, but definitely an OOOOPS moment. Went to the junkyard when I noticed(two days later), and the van was already crushed. Oh Well...

Well, got some GREAT news! FRANKIE IS BACK HOME!!! The authorities have recovered my card, after a B.S. story, and the person is going to be charged for the theft as well.

I would like to thank everyone so much for reporting that my card was listed on the bay, I appreciate it so much for everyone's help. I'm glad this was resolved.

I'm very happy to hear you got the card back. I was hoping to read this post eventually.

Thanks,

Thanks Andy! Me too, I was extremely saddened and the seller felt bad for me, but I could not take a refund or other cards from him (which he offered me), because I felt like that would be unethical, because I felt 100% this was my fault (that I threw it away). But, I didn't, I just never got it lol.
