View Date:2024-12-23 22:41:17
A California man said he stumbled upon every baseball fans’ dream when he found an old tobacco tin at his father’s home.
According to a press release by Auction Monthly, a California-based company that evaluates and consigns sports memorabilia, a treasure trove of more than 600 cards “were discovered in a closet by a Northern California resident cleaning out his father's home” and are “some of the rarest vintage baseball cards from the 1920's.”
The post-World War I era cards will be available in an upcoming sale on the company’s website.
The early 1900's Pedro Cut Plug Tobacco tin was filled with "many different types of pre-war baseball cards from the 1920's era including strip baseball cards from 1919 to 1923 and rare 1924-26 Zeenuts cards that were distributed on the West Coast."
