The value of a human soul
Back in 2014, Antiques Road Show came to Boston and a woman brought in a collection of baseball cards to be appraised. She explained that back in 1871 her great-great-grandmother operated a boarding house and provided housing for the newly established Boston Red Stockings. Her great-great-grandfather collected a baseball card from each player and she had a signed note from each one, including future hall-of-famers, Harry and George Wright and Albert Spaulding. The collection had sentimental value, but she had no idea of its actual worth. The professional appraiser, commented that it was the greatest archive that she had ever appraised for the show and estimated the collection was worth at least one-million dollars!
