TOLEDO, Ohio - Family members cleaning out their grandfather's attic in Ohio have stumbled across a find that could be worth millions: century-old baseball cards of such Hall of Famers as Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner and Cy Young.
And the cards are in superb condition.
Experts say it's one of the biggest, most exciting finds in the history of sports card collecting.
Two cousins came across the cards from 1910 in a soot-covered box last February in the Ohio town of Defiance. They say the cards belonged to their grandfather, who died in the 1940s.
The best of the bunch — 37 of the 700 or so cards — are expected to bring a total of US$500,000 when they are sold at auction in August.

It's funny after all these years...there are still millions of dollars of cards to be found. Amazing. Makes you wonder how "rare" some of these cards really are. And how much more is out there.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
<< <i>Shouldve sent those old cards to sgc. >>
Why? They're trying to sell them for the most money possible. I'm sure SGC outsells PSA for some items but for the most part PSA will bring more money thanks in large part to the registry. You don't have to like PSA but there's no reason to throw away money because you have some grudge against them.
