Old Beckett Member ....LOLMembers of the old Beckett boards would get it. It was an elaborate and entirely fictional story a member shared about his adventure finding some cards.

At the Roger's Centre they still have card vending machines. They're the kind with the coil things that turn and the item drops down to the door that you open to retrieve it. Problem is many of the cards are not in any sort of protection so the drop would certainly damage it.

I found a Honus Wagner fold out card in the wall of a house one time....
Long ago, I believe it was in the mid to early 80's because I distinctly remember Cindy Lauper being big at the time, me and some of my friends were rooting through my attic (because we were moving). We came across an old map of our town with some obscure refrence to a treasure or something so being young and dumb we decided to follow it.
It initially took us to some rundown seasonal resrurant long since closed but after a bit of snooping we haphazardly discovered an enterance to an underground cave through the basement, and not a minute too soon because we heard what could only be described as the houling of some sort of half man half beast near by, so we were eager to get out by any means.
Not long in to our hunt for the 'lost treasure' we came up to a long narrow chamber with what looked like gigantic rocks hanging from the dark ceiling, however we were taken back by what appeared to be a decades old dead 'somebody' on the ground.
Everyone was pretty spooked at this point but I was intrigued as to who it was so I searched his person, found his wallet and to this day still remember his name, 'Chester Copperpot'.
He was also clinching some book and upon further inspection it revealed his bookmark being used as a 1973 topps Lou gherig leader card. I vaguely remember the rest of the time but know it involved some bad guys chasing us, a ship, some gold coins and jewels, ect...
But will always remember the card.
