Lucky Woman Finds 1969 Baseball Card
Housewife Marion Jennings of Palo Alto, California, thought that she led a perfectly normal American life before finding what she calls an “astounding” find last Tuesday.
Jennings, 38, was looking through the family attic, looking for an old snorkel when she opened a small cardboard box.
“It was so inviting and full of mystery,” she said, “It was like a prize ready to be opened.”
When Jennings opened the box, she saw some old photographs and cancelled checks. However, underneath was the find of her lifetime.
“There was a small little card with a baseball player on it. I didn’t know what it was, so I asked my neighbor, Sue [Langan]. Sue said it was a baseball card and it was probably worth a lot of money.”
