Here's some baseball card news:

"— a 1953 Topps Ralph Kiner and a 1953 Topps Satchel Paige — are worth more than $25,000, if his mom hasn’t damaged them."

"If the cards are in “gem mint” condition, they can be worth $30,000, said Chris Ivy, director of sports for Heritage Auctions."

I'm sure they are pristine, lol.
The son should probably get over it.

    I hate when the mainstream media does this, they always try to juice the story so the uninitiated will think a fortune hangs in the balance.

    And those prices are actually for PSA 9, a “gem mint” Paige has not been graded. Of course, they are G/VG and worth a few hundred.

    Sad on a whole bunch of different levels.

    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
