Ty Cobb Baseball Cards Found In Dilapidated Home Worth Over $1 Million
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- Card experts say they've verified that seven identical Ty Cobb cards that were found inside a crumpled bag in a dilapidated home are the real thing.
These cards are from the printing period of 1909 and 1911. Before this find, just over a dozen were known to still exist.
A family discovered them in their deceased great-grandfather's home. The cards are said to have a total value in the seven figures.
Joe Orlando, the president of Professional Sports Authenticator in Newport Beach, California, who verified the find, said it is "spectacular" and "miraculous" to have come across such a cache.
"I am not sure if any other baseball card find is more remarkable than this new discovery," Orlando said in a statement.
