    Maybe there's an Alex Gordon RC hiding behind those walls. Get that sledge hammer out and start prospecting!

    I was helping a friend knock down sheet rock and out fell and old baseball bat.

    It was a Cy Williams bat. Very dark in color.

    Auto looked Fascimile on it.

    At the time, I was 14 yrs old or so, I didn't really know who Cy Williams was.

    Even though I didn't get anything out of the deal, it sparked my interest in the hobby.


    Pretty cool.

    Very cool!

    When I was in 3rd grade my friends dad found a '33 Goudey Tony Lazzeri in the wall of their home when remodeling their kitchen. Actually in good shape too. I thought it must have been the most valuable thing I had ever seen. Definitely sparked my interest in vintage cards.

    Edited for spelling.

    Very cool story, thanks for sharing.

    Anyone have an idea of its estimated value?
