As far as cards or other collectibles found within walls of old homes, or in attics or basements, I would think that those that are doing the remodeling or the buyers of an older home would definatly take a lot of consideration if they found old Baseball cards in the wall or basement or attic. It is now common knowledge to most people that Baseball cards can be valuable. I just do not see these remodeled homes havings tons of old cards that were thrown away by present day construction workers or home owners finding them in the basement or attic. I would think most of them would want to attempt to cash in on the cards. Even if they did not know they found cards, they can at least see that these are very old antique items and try to get them appraised. I am sure there are cases of cards getting thrown out in newly purchases or remodeled older homes, but I do not think it is widespread.
