Description
I’m listing this under Collectors Items. I lost my 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card, a staple in my collection. It’s a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch card in a clear sleeve, with the Mariners image and a small crease on the bottom-left corner, and a blue Topps sleeve label reading 'Griffey UD 89' on back. Yesterday around 3pm I was browsing the Roswell Public Library area on North Main Street and left my tote on a bench near the display; when I looked back it was gone. I’d really appreciate finding it — it's a favorite and holds sentimental value.

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.
