1960s Topps baseball card set in red binder
Description
I lost my 1960s Topps baseball card set yesterday around 3pm near the Cactus Theatre parking lot on 19th Street in the Depot District, Lubbock. It's kept in a red vinyl binder with a white spine label reading 'Topps 1962' in black marker. Inside are about 40 mid-60s cards, including a Hank Aaron rookie and a Willie Mays card, all in decent shape but with some corner wear. One card has a tiny pencil price mark of $2.50 in the corner, and the binder has a coffee ring stain on the cover. It was a gift from my grandfather, so it means a lot to me. If you happened to find it, email me at [email protected] and we can sort something out.

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.
