Man claims Yu-Gi-Oh cards found in trash have made him "over $60,000" already, with an expert valuing the total haul near $1 million

It's not every day that you find hyper-rare Yu-Gi-Oh cards in a dumpster, but one man claims to have done just that… and then sold them for a mess of cash.

In an interview with 404 Media, the man (who preferred to go unnamed when speaking to the site while seeking legal counsel) claims that he found thousands of bulk cards and uncut sheets "in a dumpster as part of a security breach involving a contractor." He then began selling these bit by bit on sites like eBay and Facebook for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
