What are the chances that this guy, who buys nothing but Karaoke dics mind you, just so happens to be one of the luckiest guys ever! He was working in an old house and just so happens to come across a 1914 Cracker Jack Jackson fluttering from the ceiling he is working on.

He is really lucky. He would be even more lucky if it was a real card and not a fake.

Funny thing, but I actually did buy 10 T206 cards from an older lady who was renovating an old home in Washington DC. She told me the cards just "fluttered out of the ceiling".

Stranger things have happened. A friend of mine bought a 150 year old house in VA. During renovations, they found a Confederate Civil War presentation sword behind a wall. The sword ended up selling for about $100k more than what he paid for the house.

jay, why someone would hide a sword behind a wall is just strange...that would be a nice find.

It happened to me! In fact, that's how I found this forum:

One of the Baltimore News Ruth cards was found by a guy sweeping out a house in Baltimore. It was the one that turned up about 1995 or 1996.

My 1895 Mayo Hugh Duffy was allegedly found behind a wall of an old house during renovation. At least, that was the story I was told. My card is definitely authentic, but the story could be simply that.
