Guy finds an E92 Croft's Candy Ty Cobb in a hole in an attic!

I found a 79 bump wills in probably seeing well over 100 homes. It's pretty rare to find anything of value that common knowledge to most. That being said, most if my checking was in larger cities, not country homes or barns. One might have more luck there

Our house is from 2005, so I'm hoping we don't find junk wax behind the walls when we do construction in the future.

My garage is from the 20s and unfinished. Excitedly got up on a ladder one day and stuck my head through the unfinished ceiling, sure there would be great treasures waiting me. Found an empty booze bottle, a copy of Playboy from early 70s, and a nice bird skeleton.

At least know I know where grandpa went for some private time.

When I was 12, my dad and I were ripping up the carpet in the house my parents just bought. Underneath it was a 1959 Frank Malzone all star card.

It's possible the card is real but stolen. The story provides cover until he can move it.

This was my first thought as well when reading the post. But why call attention to yourself if trying to unload a stolen card? It's hard not to be skeptical but if he really did send it to psa and it comes back graded I'd lean towards believing the story.

Going through my grandparents house when they moved I found a 1954 Topps Granny Hamner. Probably would grade a 5-6. My grandma told me the horror story of her throwing away my dads and uncles cards. “Looks like I missed one” she said. Come on grandma!

Well, if American Pickers hasn't found the big score by now, fuggedaboutit.

The rest of the story and additional finds haven't been mentioned yet....

multiple Inverted Jenny stamps, Albert Einstein's notebook of handwritten formulas, a stack of gem mint copies of Action Comics #1, the Oak Island treasure and the remains of Jimmy Hoffa were also found alongside the Cobb, as well as authenticated signature's from Santa Claus, King Tut, Dracula, Zeus and Joan of Arc. There was also a Joe Jackson... but most likely it's fake.

Superficial judgement + rarity of card + back story = probably fake in my book. Nothing looks good about this find to me.
I found a hardback Gilligans Island book in a house we bought as a kid. Inside it was a Ozzie Smith rookie.
