Baseball cards helped me get back to my duty station on time, allowing me to keep my Top Secret security clearance, at one point in my Navy career. This was back in the 1990s, my 2nd time around the hobby. I sold a 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig and a 1941 Play Ball Joe DiMaggio and some other cards at a card shop on Atlantic Boulevard in Coral Springs for something like $200 so I could get back to Naval Air Station Key West on time after a weekend at home. That's when I learned a hard lesson. Whatever I have, desirable though it may be, is worthless if I try to sell it. Whatever you have is worth a fortune.
