Default I've had one missing for more than 10 years now

My wife gave me portraits of Tinker/Ever/Chance for a 10th wedding anniversary gift 15 years ago. I already had a Tinker, and the one I already had was much nicer, but I kept the dupe. It made the move to Omaha 10 years ago, I remember unpacking it. Haven't seen it since. No clue where to look after this long. Pretty sure it is not under the couch.

One time I lost a Cycle 460 in the back of my closet. Found it after a few weeks.

Twice in the past my 58 Topps Foster Castleman has grown legs. Cheap to replace, but I mean "Foster Castleman"? wtf?

I'll make a note to never sort cards while sitting on the couch. Seems they are the thieves of the furniture world...

Default lost one

I soaked five real dirty and nasty Tolstoi's yesterday. I did them one at a time and them placed each one onto a cutting board to press/dry. I started with five cards and now have only four drying????

I know I didn't dump it down the drain. I suspect I set it down somewhere while maneuvering and replacing copy paper over the cards, but cant seem to locate it anywhere!

I looked in all the obvious places, and on the floor around my work area. I though it might have stuck to some of the drying paper and be in the trash can, but it wasnt on top. Next step is to empty the trash can one peice at a time!

oh well, lucklily they are low end condition and got them for a good price.

I will check under the couch... just to be sure

I know the feeling of losing a card, especially if its one that I was suppose to ship to a winning bidder. I would go thru my inventory hoping that I would find it even though I already looked in the same place 10 times before. Then it would turn out that I shipped it to the wrong bidder. Happened to me 3 times over 13 years. Luckily, I was able to get everything worked out.

I think most of us have had that experience- I feel for you. Mine was discovering that three more R314 Canadian Wide Pens existed, after I thought I had them all.... still haven't found them -

Well, I can't work long hours, and would have to take frequent breaks to give the ol' bones a rest, but if you guys need a butler that might occasionally spend an inordinate amount of time dusting where your baseball card collections are on display, then I'm your huckleberry. I'm as honest as they come, so have no fear about the safety of your valuables. But I make no promises as to the occasional drooling that might occur.
