Imagine finding 100-year-old baseball cards that turned out to be worth millions? That's what happened when one man rummaged though an old paper bag and found seven very rare Ty Cobb cigarette baseball cards.

The story: The Lucky 7 Baseball Card Find

Tyrus Raymond "Ty" Cobb, born December 18, 1886, was an early American baseball player for the Detroit Tigers (1905) and later the Philadelphia Athletics (1928).

What really blows my mind is that to this point over the last 100+ years only 15 of these Ty Cobb T206s with the Ty Cobb back were known --- now there's 7 confirmed more in amazing shape. The final auction gavel on these "lucky seven" will be truly eye popping!
The "Georgia Peach" indeed....

If they had kept the secret, released every year or two to PSA and Auction... They would have done MUCH MUCH better. Loose lips sinks ships?
