I recently read about an art dealer/collector who lost around 200 paintings to the Palisades fire in California.
Among them were several dozen Andy Warhol and Keith Haring paintings.

It's an interesting topic of discussion to ponder. It's an impossible question to answer (hence the sarcasm). While there is no way of knowing, I'm sure there are some big, rare cards that have been lost to disaster over the years.

Interesting question for sure. What I've wondered more about is what items of significant importance and value have inadvertently been tossed or thrown away. I mean everyone's mom tossed their cards growing up right?
 So many of my advertising pieces were found in the craziest places and could have been easily overlooked and lost to the elements of weather (Ruth tri fold under porch in Portland Oregon) or simply the landfill (Spalding Base Ball Good sign found behind a cheap framed picture) to others found in the walls of homes that were set to be demolished.
