It's great that the guy recognized something different and interesting about that bat. Otherwise, it might have been lost.

Agreed, the stuff (collector) dreams are made of.
This happens to other people.

I'm sure we can make quite a few relic cards out of that one!
In all seriousness though... great find! Owen

If these prices aren't right off side then I'd say he is into some decent money!
http://www.sportsmemorabilia.com/player/Pie_Traynor I love hearing stories like this. It gives hope to everyone that someday they may find something as well.

My best find was last month in Maine...an 8-panel uncut sheet of 1957 Topps cards.
