This final note on the way out today, which reminds me I need to have a chat with my mom about her throwing away the baseball card collection I had when I was a kid.

Late Tuesday night, we learned that a family in an as yet unnamed city, had been going through a run-down old house that used to belong to their great-grandfather they looked inside a torn paper bag sitting on the floor and found seven old baseball cards.

I’ll cut to the chase here.

They were authentic Ty Cobb cards from a hundred years ago — or more.

Total value, into the seven figures, the experts say.

Mom, I’m gonna be calling.
