"Finds" you will never see publicized in AH catalogs

[samosa4u]

How about this one:

The "I robbed the hell outta' this old man by telling him that his cards are worth $50,000 when I knew I could get $300,000+ for them" find.

HUGE collection traded a crackhead for it

[Michael B]

I was urban spelunking and came across this abandoned building with hundreds of cases of cards sitting on pallets and spilled all over the floor.


OH Wait, that did happen!!!

[Bigdaddy]

How about the "I bought a stack of old books and found these cards pressed between the pages" find?

Or the "When my grandfather was a wee lad, Babe Ruth came through his home town on a barnstorming tour and he got the Babe to sign this ball" find?

Or the "My mother used to date Mickey Mantle in high school and she kept this lock of his hair" find?

Or the most likely, "I bought a storage unit and found this trove of '89 Bowman and Score" find?

The angry wife that sold the cheating husbands cards for practically nothing find.

The 1990 Score factory sealed set I found at my childhood home.

That ain't showing up at ANY auction house!

[RedsFan1941]

the “A collector spent the last 20 years putting together these postwar Topps sets and now he’s consigned them to us” find. actually that’s a description you see often.
