I really feel that although there will be more "finds," I don't think they would be in the magnitude of the Ohio find. ( or even close for that matter ) Back in the day ( late 80's & 90's ) things would be unearthed and brought to shows, sold at yard sales, etc... Now I think when people find that box of 700-1000 cards from the 50's and 60's, they tend to think they've found their retirement, but really they just have maybe a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff. I had an interesting talk with a dealer at a local show about a month ago who used to own a shop. He said that in the 80's and even into the mid nineties, he would see some great collections come in. He said that he basically kept the store open for a few years after he should have closed, just hoping for that next collection to come. He said that the last few years of the store it became the exact opposite of what it once was. I guy might have about 300 cards from the late 60's and they'd want thousands.
