Back in 1997, REA auctioned five Ty Cobb with Ty Cobb backs that were found by the consignor inside a book belonging to his grandmother. Based on today's values, that's a 750K haul and arguably the greatest "inside a book" find ever.
There was also a group of several D304 that were found inside a book in pristine condition. Leon can elaborate on these. Books are a great place to store things, and it doesn't surprise me that small pieces of paper are placed inside their covers, where they can remain for a century or more.
