Lost and Found

No, because I always put things in the same place everytime, so I always know where they are. This does make me an anal-retentive jerk, however.

I bought 1 card I needed to complete an old Non-Sport set. I put it aside somewhere so I could send it to SGC. 2 years later & I still have not found it nor remembered where I put it. I have since replaced it twice & still haven't had it graded, so my set sits on the SGC Registry as 99% complete. I keep thinking I'll find the 1st card, which was the best one!

This makes me laugh. I roomed with a guy in college who was like Felix Unger. I was Oscar Madison. We had an agreement that we could borrow each other's stuff, but it was understood I had to put anything back EXACTLY! One day I borrowed a screwdriver to work on my stereo and I put it back in the wrong drawer. Next thing I know I'm being woken up and he is aggrieved. I told him I hadn't touched his shit and leave me alone. Poor trusting soul had apparently never encountered a good lie. He was so upset that he himself had screwed up that I nearly confessed. Not really. It was fun watching him squirm in mental torment.

I once lost BL 350s of Slagle and Strang for about 2 years. I scanned them to post for trade bait and thought I put them away. Looked for them about a month later could not find them. Panicdid set in and after a week or so of looking I gave up thinking I must have thrown then away cleaning up. About 2 years later going through some catalogs and packing supplies to clean up some found them in the inside the first page of a auction catalog.

Apparently this is a common experience. In my case, I was moving and about 95% packed when two Milwaukee Sausage (Seattle Rainiers) cards arrived. I stuck them in SOME box thinking they would be easy to find. A year and a half later, I was still looking for them. I had been through my stuff several times, looking in even unlikely places. The other day I was searching my photo file for an old team photo and found the cards stuck in between a couple of photos. I always expected to find them when I wasn't looking for them, and that is exactly what happened.

I'm still looking for a couple of C46 Imperial Tobacco cards. I don't think I traded them but I could have. Or they might show up some day when I'm not looking for them . . .

I am constantly misplacing cards...as i like to look at them often and I tend to misplace them. Currently...I was tempted to post a scan of my t330 piedmont stamp of hal chase I purchased from Jeff L on the BST not too long ago...but...I can't find it?!?!?! Hopefully it'll turn up soon!!!!!

This is a post I made before about a missing card:

Finally I told her the only thing I could think of was that the card had fallen and my 20 month old daughter had gotten it. So my wife went up stairs looking for it and found it in my daughters room next to her toys.

I decided it could be hers if she wanted it that bad so now it is displayed in her room.

We have since moved and no cards have been displayed in her room yet, but I suspect that it is only a matter of time before the cards start going back into her room.

I once had a raw baguer chocolate Goose Goslin go missing for about 3 months. Not that surprising since it's smaller than a postage stamp.

It just means that you are not old enough yet. I was looking for my cell phone this morning and it was in my hand. I am only 43.
