Jackpot

Bernice Gallego, a 72-year-old from Fresno, California, has hit the jackpot. While digging through an anitque collection she had purchased, she discovered a baseball card. Last summer, she put it on Ebay for a starting bid of $10.00 . She started to think that the card could be worth more when lots of people started asking her questions about it. It turns out her hunch was right. The baseball card was 139 years old and was made in 1869. It featured the Red Stocking B.B. Club of Cincinnati, baseball's first professional sports team. This card is considered one of the first cards ever produced and could be valued at more than $100,000. There are two unique angles to this story. First, Bernice doesn't know where she even got the card from because she and her husband buy lots of different antiques from collectors all over the state of California. Second, Bernice has never even been to a baseball game!
