Card experts in Southern California said Wednesday that they have
verified the legitimacy and seven-figure total value of seven identical
Ty Cobb cards from the printing period of 1909 to 1911. Before the
recent find, there were only about 15 known to still exist...The family who discovered the cards in a neglected paper bag at the run-down house of a deceased great-grandfather has asked to remain anonymous...
The cards with Cobb, the Hall of Fame Detroit Tigers slugger, come from a lot known as T206, the group most prized by collectors. That lot also includes the Honus Wagner card, arguably the most famous sports card ever.
