Found red leather binder with vintage baseball cards
Description
I found a red leather binder in the Sawgrass Mills parking lot near the Grand Avenue entrance in Sunrise, Broward County this morning around 9:15am. It’s about 8x11 inches and stuffed with a collection of 1990s Topps baseball cards in clear sleeves, plus a few loose sheets. The binder’s cover is a bit scuffed and has a coffee ring mark, and inside the front cover there’s a faded yellow Post-it that reads 'Chris 1994' with a tiny star doodle. There’s also a thin blue sticker on the back with hand-written initials. I know how precious these old cards can be to a collector, so I’d really like to reunite it with its owner.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
