Lost / Found Cards...

[shanks25]

Over the years, I've seen countless threads here (and on the old BMB) about people who miraculously found cards that they forgot they ever had. Most times, it's some pretty expensive cards too. I've always thought..."Who the hell could forget they had cards that were worth a ton of cash? Who the hell misplaces them?"

Well, today it was my turn. I have a vague recollection of owning these cards. I know they came from a huge lot of vintage I bought 6 years ago. But, no real specific memory of the cards themselves. So today I was looking for something. Don't even ask me why in the world I looked in my wife's underwear drawer but I did. In there amongst the lacey thongs and such, I found these......

I don't remember seeing those in that drawer...

That's a cool find man. I'm hoping one day to find my Yount/Molitor Artifacts dual auto-GU #/10.

Maybe I'll go look in my underwear drawer.

As long as I don't find any of your cards in my wife's underwear drawer. But if I do I get to keep them.

Umm.... I sure hope they still have that ol' bubble gum smell to them though

Might want to ask why your wife is hiding pictures of men in her underwear drawer.

i have a good one you you! in 1987 i had a friend of mine that did remodeling.do the basement of our victorian home built in 1890.we put all new floors walls duct work and lighting in when we were doing the sheetrock, just for kicks i went and got a 100 cards i had wrapped in wax papper and put in a baggie and put in the rafters before closing the wall,on a ledge under the drop ceiling. no one knows they are there but me. thay are all 52 topps high numbers in mint! i got them at a card shop years before and they cost me about 20 bucks at the time. that house is now on the market in foreclosure. when i go to the national. i am going to look at the house.there was alot more remodling done to the kitchen but had no picks of the basement.wounder if they are still in that rafter behind the dry wall under the drop ceiling. i hope the house is still on the market, this could be interesting.

Dude somehow finds a Pujols Bowman Chrome AU or LeBron Exquisite AU/JSY every other day.

Fruity? What kind of fruit? Seems odd. Might not be a good sign.

Cherries & bananas would be ok I guess....pineapples on the other hand I would worry a little
