I have been missing my t206 Jimmy Collins for at least 10 years. Likely buried in a closet somewhere, Trying to get organized. Hopefully, it turns up...

Somehow I misplaced a T206 Cy Young that I purchased from a board member.....I received several packages of cards that day. I believe I threw the Young away with the packaging.

I still can't believe I did that.....and still impulsively check between the liner & trash can.

Looking for my N559 (Governors) type card in ALL the places I kept cards. Tried again. Finally a third time in excruciating detail going slowly through everything.....no luck.

About a week later I walked out of the closet and saw it laying in the middle of the bedroom floor, raw and undamaged. Still can't figure that one out.

Not really lost, but board member (Christopher Herman) and I made a significant trade of strip cards about a year ago. I sent him 12-15 w514's, and accidentally included a Ty Cobb w514 which we did not discuss in the sale.

A week later Chris called me and said "your package arrived today, but a Cobb was included we did not discuss." OOPS! I probably would not have noticed it was gone. The card was returned, thanks to his honesty. The card's now in the safe, unless I made another shipping error.

Thanks again Chris, Ty!

There are some really decent people on this board. Wish the rest of the world was half as honest.
