Rare Baseball Cards Unearthed in Ohio Home Sell For More Than $500G at Auction

The discovery of century-old baseball cards in an Ohio attic isn't going to make anyone super-rich even though it's being called one of the most exciting finds in the history of sports card collecting. That's because the cards and the money are being evenly divided among 20 cousins.

A sampling of the treasure trove that had been untouched for 100 years was sold Thursday night during the National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore. The 37 baseball cards featuring the likes of Hall of Famers Ty Cobb, Cy Young and Honus Wagner fetched $566,132 in brisk online and live bidding. They were expected to bring about $500,000.

I read how the funds were never allocated to California Sons and Daughters of the victims...this is so typical of Progressive America...this is how they spent all of our Social Security equity...while giving themselves raises..they just cannot subject themselves to keeping within a budget ..the corruption is a daily outrage
