I'm in the antiques and vintage business (Once Possessed in Snellville, Ga if you're ever in the area) and go on a lot of house calls. While not neccessarily card related, people are often surprised when I tell them about the collectability and potential value of the thing they own. Mainstream things, not esoteric items. Old comics, guns, sports stuff, coins, toys, etc.
Who knows what the percentage is, but I'd say there's many a grouping of cards still out there.
