Default What to do if you found a T206 Wagner ?
Posted By: Jim Dale

There was a story, true or not I don't know, about a kid from Sacramento CA that found a Mantle rookie at a garage sale. Story as I heard it was the seller wanted $20, kid offered $10 and seller refused. Kid runs home and begs dad for $10 so he could go back and buy card for $20. It took the kid 2 hours of chores to get that $10 and he went back to buy the card. Card later sold at major auction house for $55k.

True or not - I don't know. I also heard garage sell guy sued kid \ family. Not sure what happened.
