Most Honorable/Ethical Situation you've dealt with...

Some of you old timers may remember Dan Knoll, a Chicago area guy who was a Cubs collector and serious jersey expert. Dan had a shop in a mall in the hayday in a southwestern suburban of Chicago. Woman walks into his shop with a Kareem Abdul Jabbar jersey and says her late husband used to work at the now defunct Chicago Stadium and was given this jersey by someone from the Lakers. She asked $100 and told Dan to think about it while she shopped at the mall. Dan makes a few phone calls, finds out it is the real McCoy, and pays her $1,500. We need more guys like him in the hobby.

I ran shows from the 70's through 2008 and I loved my business. I have many friends that set up as well as attended my events over the decades.
After a particularly busy 1989 show in Westboro, Mass, my friends and I started to gather the trash and there were a lot of empty wax boxes and cases everywhere because the new UD, Topps, Donruss, Fleer and Score BB was out.
I kicked what I thought was an empty case of 89 UD, and it was very heavy.
Upon opening it I found thousands of gem mint high end 50's stars in glass screw downs inside. i mean it had EVERYTHING like Bowman Mantle, Mays Ford rookies, and thousands of superb cards.
I secured the box in the office I used, and got out my brief case to locate the phone number of the dealer that owned them. I got in touch with him and returned his collection to him that afternoon.
This type of scenario happens once in a while when you promote shows.
I have lived my life doing the right thing like this.
