When the baseball card first went up for auction on eBay, it was priced at 99 cents. That may have been a tad low.
The e-mails started coming immediately: someone offering $5,000, someone offering $10,000. The seller, who had found the card in an old photo album he purchased at a yard sale in Baileyville, Maine, quickly removed the eBay listing and brought in professional appraisers, who determined that the card was more than rare: It was one of two known examples of the first baseball card ever printed.

Do you realize how much grief you are causing so many of us by printing this article? I'm liable to call my mother and give her grief for throwing away all of my cards AND my GI Joes! Oh well!
