That makes me think that whoever found the cards wasn't a "seasoned" collector. Imagine the local guys at your local auction house paying big money for a wax box of 1997 Topps. I'm betting it was someone like that who found them. It was someone who realized the old cards were worth a whole lot more money that the yard sale operator was asking for them, yet not savvy enough to pick up those old "worthless" wrappers.
