I would imagine it's not the only one that was put into something and "buried" at some point in time. Never thought about just digging up the yard to find cards. image

    This story sounds a bit fishy. In 1955, Mickey was considered a flash in the pan? And the card stashed just happens to be a 52T? Plus, it's not even his rookie card. Nice journalism they practice up in Canada, eh?

    2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25
    2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9

    I'm sure there are some buried Mantle RCs out there, but unless they were hermetically sealed and stored under Funk & Wagnall's Porch, I doubt any of them survive to this day.

    The best bet would still be grandpa's attic. However, I do remember reading somewhere (was it here?) about a kid who, in 1960, dropped his Yaz rookie down a window slot in his dad's car, and who always wondered whatever happened to it.

    So there literally could be such treasures ANYWHERE.

    Did someone say there's buried treasure in Canada?
