The Black Swamp Find

One of the greatest baseball card finds ever happened recently when a man from Defiance, Ohio was cleaning out his grandfathers attic. The cards, which have been named The Black Swamp Find, are early 1900's cards and are said to be worth around $3 million dollars! Of the 700 cards found, several are from the extremely rare E98 series which feature a number of Hall of Fame players such as Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, and Cy Young. The cards are going to be auctioned off by Heritage Auctions at this years National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore August 1st-5th. 

This ABC affiliate in Toledo, Ohio has the story:

Although Ironclad Authentics will not be submitting a bid for these cards, we will definitely be stopping by to check them out! I wonder how many other grandparents' attics will be "cleaned" after reading a story like this!
