Why yes, I know Carl. My grand daddy gave him a base ball card collection to store but grand daddy died before he could get it back.
My guess is, many of us have a similar story about a parent burning or tossing baseball cards and/or comic books.. Mine is comic books, 1st Superman comic, etc.. mother tossed them. lost a lot of money that day, and this is precisely why the ones that survived are worth so much money.
