Does any serious collector, or longtime collector on this board, not have a list of what they have?

More than you would think.

As in most area's of life, people only act after an event such as this has happened, not before. Like getting a burglar alarm after you have been robbed. Never thought you would need one before, much like needing a list of cards you assembled over a lifetime. Guys like the old timers, simply amassed vast numbers of cards, tucked them away and never gave much thought to anything else.

I have thousands of cards and there is no way to know what I have, to every last card (just like the strip card I just showed in that thread), without a list. But i hear ya and you are probably right.

Totally agree.. and I work for an Alarm company as a technician I see this over and over.. One thing my father who had a nice collection himself told me over and over to NEVER tell anyone what ya got. To me that includes uploading any pictures on any open forums.. Never will, sorry..

Every collector's worst nightmare. Even if insured to the hilt and provable, still a horrible experience.

Yeah, I agree.

Let's not lose sight of the fact that a fellow collector has lost their collection! This string is a call for help; not meant to be a debate about what the collection was worth, if it was insured, or if the cards were NM. As a fellow collector and a Vermonter, I will do whatever I can to keep my eye out for this missing collection.

I feel for the collector. This is why I keep my collection in the bank.

We're basically told to look out for some common, ungraded cards with no specific identifying characteristics. I'm on it.
