Wow, that is awesome. Those are the kinds of stories that keep every collector's imagination running wild. Love the fact that they were candy cards are most likely collected by a youngster. Thanks for the link.

Awesome find! Just to think about the circumstances surrounding their placement in that tin and what happened to the boy who set them aside like that. Did he forget about them and move on? Did something happen to him? So many mysteries. It's what make stories like these so fascinating.
