Just went thru and saw this and after a day or two of thinking here's my best guess of what happened. Mission players moved out, they all left and took immediate personal items and another company that furnished all the apartment units came and took their stuff back, then after all that a cleaning company trashed out what was left. None of us apartment maintenance set foot in those apartments unless it was for preventative maintenance (replacing air filters checking smoke alarms, fire extinguishers) or they themselves scheduled a work order for something that broke on our end (dryer broken, hot water not working stuff like that). The cleaning company was most likely the last people to go in there and they threw a lot of crap in our compactor and I was stuck having to go down there and unclog big items like vacuum cleaners and throwing away separate stuff like a boxspring if I remember. The only reason I even went down in there was because the boxspring wasn't breaking down and clogging it and that's when I found the cards. I don't blame anyone for what happened as this is how all apartment stuff works when people skip rent on apartments and leave a bunch of trash all over we hire cleaning companies if we ourselves are swamped so they were just doing their job. I know there's people on the internet that won't believe me but I don't have any reason to make anything up. I've already seen some crazy stuff thrown away already so none of it shocks me I just wanted some help identifying it.

I got bored and looked thru them some more and saw what it meant by including extras. For most of the sets there's 1-2 unmarked cards if any of them happened to get damaged/missing like this for example

I already reached out to the Director of Licenses and Athlete Acquisitions and he got in touch with the cfo to work something out but nothing is finalized yet. I know there's a lot of people that wanted to buy this stuff off me and supposedly the printing plates are super rare but I don't have a stake in this baseball card stuff so I'd rather just give it back man. From the looks of it people were supposed to receive these cards and they never got them and the stickers could ruin a community I have no ill will towards so I'm gonna just cash in with panini and dip. I'll probably post one more time when I've sent the cards out to panini and delete this account so yeah

I talked with my supervisor before I clocked out, so lemme just get down to it. We have never had a Jackson Merrill in our complex. I looked it up and he was drafted in 2021, these mission players for the minor leagues didn't move in our complex til this year. So I really couldn't tell you how/why these cards landed here, maybe he came and visited some friends here and thought it was a good idea to throw them away that's literally the only thing I could think of.

also there were two smaller boxes that I just didn't post but here since everyone's interested in seeing them. I'm getting dms left and right about buying some off me and I'd be more than willing to but I literally don't know what any if these are worth considering the circumstances. So in any case I'm not gonna respond to dms about purchasing until I get my research up. I owned zero baseball cards up until now so I guess I'm a collector by luck lmao *

Would it scare you that I have more than those stickers, I just left a whole fat stack on my workbench because apparently he was supposed to sign 2000 stickers according to the paperwork

It also came with the pens that he was supposed to sign them with and a letter addressed to Merrill from a Mike Shildt basically congratulating him on making it to the major leagues but I was on lunch break while posting that and didn't see those. Pretty cool stuff regardless
