I wonder how many are just sitting in a box in the attic. I owned a card shop back in the late 1190s early 2000s and you would be surprised how many people who didn’t collect would come in and buy a pack or box just to open and have no idea what they were looking for. If it wasn’t a jersey or Auto in that time the average person didn’t care. People would just bust packs looking for jersey or auto cards all the time. No jersey or auto the rest of the cards didn’t really matter. Or the team collector that a common card from his team meant more to them than a rare jordan or Kobe. Seriously there was a lot of it back then. Or just the random non collector who bought some packs while his kid was looking at Pokémon or wife looking at Beanie Babies, or just killing time.....I would bet a ton of grail type cards are either lost forever or in junk drawers
