My "for sale/ trade" boxes had some free space in them so I grabbed a couple boxes from storage to add more to what I have up for offers and the first box I picked, I'm finding most of the cards I cards I didn't have in my collection, meaning it was a box I never went through.  Fun problem to run into since now I have a huge lot of cards to sort and see what I have or don't have.

This ever happen to anyone else here?

oops !

I have had this happen before to me.

on some of the overproduced era, I have one box loaded here, and a second box or two sorted but not loaded here (yet)

I have a high tech system to tell which is which - a hand written note on a small piece of scrap paper.

problem is....when you go through that box and set paper aside.....then forget to put it back....

Not usually but I have cards is almost every room of the house... somewhere. Every now and then I will find some. I really try to just keep them in two spots, the foyer or in the card room. Just the other day I was doing some cleaning and came across a stack of manufactured letter cards I completely forgot about. I figure they were where they were since around 2015 or so.

i sold someone three full size uncut sheets on ebay, when i looked for a big box for them, and finally found a box big enough, inside i found an exact duplicate of one of the sheets i had just sold...which i think i will keep because now i dont have box to send it in

Just recently, I couldn't find a box of early 80's HOF traders that I had already entered on the sight.  I still haven't found that box, but I did find a plastic tote (I thought were Xmas decorations), with 8 hand collated late 80's sets in them.  It included 2 first run '89 Fleer sets with the Ripken F**k F**e card. 

The cards I'm finding aren't even junk era cards (while some are, most aren't).  We're talking mostly cards from the past 15 years.  Some inserts, Chrome... good stuff.  Found 2 boxes so far of unsorted cards I haven't looked through yet.

Yep, usually find the unentered cards in mixed monster boxes where some of them were added (usually hockey & baseball) and the rest were overlooked. I add them as I find them now.

I'm having the opposite problem.  I recently sorted and listed all my 1991-92 Fleer basketball cards and now have no idea where I put them.  My house isn't that big.  I'm half expecting to find them in a kitchen cupboard or a medicine cabinet.

Very similar problem, but they're in the same room after reorganization. 

Last week, while going thru my completed sets boxes,I discovered I had an extra set each of 2015 topps and 2017 topps.  On the flip side, I also discovered I had been using my complete 21 update set as trade stuff.  So now I need to complete that one again, lol
