Crazy Money Day – Baseball Cards Worth Millions

It’s Crazy Money Day!

Uncle Jimmy, was a factory worker, then janitor, who lived in the same house all of his life. He never drove a car and never had children, but his nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews were often given some of his baseball cards. Uncle Jimmy collected baseball memorabilia for over 97 years.

He wrote players, teams, and photographers who would send him cards and original photos. He never showed off what he had. Upon his death, it was discovered that he held more than 1,000 vintage cards and collectibles. It’s one of the most incredible finds in the history of card collecting. His simple hobby that he loved is now blessing his family and astounding the world.
