Unaccounted for Attic Finds, Garage Finds, Thrift Store Finds

[Clutch-Hitter]

In 6th grade, a new kid showed up and overheard some of us talking baseball He said his family just moved to a house and found a small box of cards in the attic. I was collecting the current 85 topps and donruss, with a few very old and treasured 78, 79 topps. I told him 10.00 for the box, unseen, and he agreed. Brought it the next day, approx 50 cards, all junk commons, very old for me though, except for the last card: 63 Rose rookie in fr-gd (ex-mt to me back then). I told him about the card and was glad he said deal is a deal. Couldn't wait to get home to tell my dad...Later used the cash from selling that to buy a Ruth w515 from teletrade, which was a dream card considering I always wondered aloud to friends if there was any such thing as a real ruth card from his playing days...wish i still had the rose, but i do have my 82 fleer Hrabosky error card.

Think landfills contain more than will actually be found?
