I don't think this can qualify as a 'find' or that these were unknowingly 'tucked away'. The family knew what it had as far as a collection and finally decided to sell it. While the 'find' part of the story may not be overly sexy, that many high quality 100+ year old cards is just amazing to see all in one place.
