FOUND: Trading Cards in College Station
Description
At about 4:40 p.m. last Tuesday, I found a stack of trading cards under a bench near the Memorial Student Center on the Texas A&M campus in College Station. The cards looked well-used—edges curled, a faded logo, a sticker with a kid's handwriting on the top card. They clearly didn't belong to me, so I gathered them up and handed them to the campus front desk to help reunite them with their owner. It felt satisfying, like a small act of kindness in this big college town on a bright afternoon after game-day vibes. If these belong to you, I hope this listing helps you find them through the site.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
