Bernice Gallego of Fresno, Cali, age 72 was looking through some old boxes of antiques in her attic when she came across an old baseball card. She thought it may be worth something to someone so she listed it on Ebay. She started the bid at $10 until she started getting questioned by numerous people about it’s authenticity. She imediately cancelled the bidding and questioned herself if what she had was really more valuable than what she thought. Come to find out the card was made in 1869, featuring Red Stocking B.B. Club of Cincinnati, the first professional sports team. The baseball card that Bernice found is considered one of the first baseball cards ever produced and could be worth more than $100,000. After Bernice gained the knowledge she needed about the 140 year old card she put it back on ebay, but with a higher starting bid. I think that this woman is very lucky and if you ask her she will say that she has a history of being lucky, having once won $250,000 on a slot machine…
