Recently my GF was cleaning out her mothers house after she had passed away, she discarded in the trash some vintage baseball cards. She then asked me to haul that trash to the dump.
I retrieved the baseball cards from the trash at the dump and stashed them in my truck, this morning i got the report back from the sportscard grading service, and the appraisal on the cards is over $180,000 wholesale value. They have found me a buyer for $150,000 and i'm tempted to take that offer and not tell her but i feel guilty about not doing so. Opinions please.

It is a good idea to tell her you took the vintage baseball cards because you thought there were valuable and had them appraised and let her know what they are worth if you don't she will get mad at you for going through her trash and who knows what will happen so yes it is a good idea to tell her.

I would let her know that you retrieved the cards , Then tell her how much they are worth. Give her a chance to reconsider keeping them . Maybe they have some bad memories or connection to her life. She may have purposely thrown them out even if she knew the value.

That's a lot of money. If you're serious about this girl you're going to have to tell her. If you don't you'll feel guilty. Plus she'll want to know where the h e l l you got all this dough. Maybe she'll split the money with you. That wouldn't be so bad would it?

being a girl she probably didnt know they were worth anything, and being that she is your girlfriend and HER MOTHER JUST DIED!!! You should be compassionate enough to mention that you took the cards and they are worth some money and that you are gonna look into it and split it with her...
You know the other way around if it had been something you threw away she would have told you...

She threw them out thinking they were useless but she was the rightful owner. You got them appraised so you did the leg work. I suggest a 50-50 split.

If this is someone that you plan on being with for a long time, then you must tell her. Honesty is always the best policy. Would you want her to find out another way?

Well if you don't tell her are you planning to take the money and run? Because if she finds out you didn't she will kill you!

you owe her half the cash--if you have any integrity whatsoever as a man, what your really asking is ''should I be greedy and deceitful??' if it wasn't for her being a gullible female you wouldn't have jack in this case.-
