I probably donated cards like this because they were not worth the cardboard they were printed on. Could someone interested in playing the odds simply submit a couple hundred top condition value-less star cards for a few thousand and then sell 2 or 3 of those hundreds of cards for $1,000s and toss the rest in the garbage? Could it be that simple?

Not that I ever think they will be worth money, but I know there are a lot less 1989 Topps Traded commons than there are cards of Griffey because there was a person that broke up thousands of sets and graded all the Griffey cards. He sold some of the other stars in huge groups and trashed the commons. I'm sure other people have done the same, though I doubt they did it in the bulk that he did.
