Vintage baseball card binder with rare rookies
Description
I lost my vintage baseball card binder yesterday around 5:30pm near Riverside Plaza on Market Street in Riverside, Inland Empire. It's a black vinyl binder, about 11x9 inches, packed with 1990s Topps and Upper Deck rookie cards; the cover has a red Topps sticker on the spine and a small scratch. Inside the front cover there's a laminated photo of my grandfather and me trading cards, plus a blue Sharpie note that says 'Dad's fave' on the first sleeve. This binder means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandfather, and I really hope it turns up. If you found it, drop me a message here—I'd be forever grateful.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
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.
