I can imagine thousands upon thousands of old cards were lost..... I probably lost, at the time when the market was pretty high, $10,000 worth of stuff??? maybe? tons of old Braves, a complete, mint quality 1983 Topps football set I hand collected. probably 10 Griffey Jr Upper Deck rookie cards that were going to be sent out for grading in a few weeks before the storm. a handful of T-206 cards (all "commons") and probably between 100-200 various late 50's and early 60's cards from Eddie Matthews and Aaron to some minor stars and rookies. (not to mention all my 80's 90's and 2000's stuff)
oh well, now I know, when my collection reaches a certain value i need to get it insured.
