Auction Results from the Lucky-7 Find

In March of 2016, a family in South Carolina was going through their great-grandfather's house after his death and stumbled upon one of the greatest baseball card finds of all time.

In a tattered paper bag just about to be thrown out, seven T-206 cards fell out, including a Ty Cobb rarity--the back says “TY COBB – KING OF THE SMOKING TOBACCO WORLD” in green ink.



These cards were put up for auction and have now all sold. Get a load of the haul this family made!

 "While individual prices for all of the cards haven’t been disclosed, Snyder says they realized a combined total of “approximately $3 million.”  At least one-third of that is believed to have been spent on the highest graded example."

From an old paper bag to $3 million just like that! If you're looking for a reason to go visit your grandpa, here ya go!
