my post was not made to say this collector is/was foolish.
......just expressing the idea in order to possibly encourage any collector out there that is not in the practice of documenting their valuable cards with digital images (or at least color xeroxs).
I guess reading between the lines of your post...that these were all raw sets ?
maybe a list of the regional sets or more details on condition of the standout cards would help let the hundreds of collectors/dealers/flippers that read his silly forum what it is we ought to keep an eye out...but maybe not.
either way..good luck.

and let your old-timer know cards sometimes are recovered.
...Ben's case in point.
