New Jersey family finds Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx signed baseball cards, possibly worth millions

When most people clean out their attic they find dusty old books and photos, but one New Jersey family found a vintage signed baseball cards potentially worth millions. Baseball fan and New Jersey resident James Micioni died in March at 97, leaving an amazing collection of baseball memorabilia for his family to uncover.

A Babe Ruth card from 1933 is one of the most notable items from the collection and is expected to sell for over $100,000. "Uncle Jimmy" as he was known, has six and all are signed by the MLB legend.

The collection also includes a 1933 signed Lou Gehrig card and a signed Jimmie Foxx card from the set.

I wish I could see my family's faces when they find my stash of Sam Horn rookie cards. Seriously - I bought about about 150 of these damn things:

Blaze Jordan shit

Seems like a really solid draft

 

[Centrum Hockey]

There still no news on how the Red Sox affiliates will look like next year but it seems like all the draft picks will go to Greenville or the GCL Redsox instead of Lowell going forward .

I don’t think we have to worry about that until next season anyway

I see your Sam Horn rookie card stash, and raise you my Eric Hetzel rookie card stash...

I'm all aboard the Blaze Jordan bandwagon. Holy shit does that kid have crazy power!

Not too surprising, but if it has to come out, now would be a perfect time with so much other crap in the news . They could easily sweep it under the rug

Well, good for Judge to rat out his team. Stand up guy.

 

[CDJ]

Let me try this again

Manfred won’t do anything about it because the league wears pinstripes

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The fact they so desperately hide it speaks volumes anyways.

Everybody cheats, so I'm not surprised, but the league has to have been intentionally blind to not expose the Yanks earlier when even back during the London series last year Cora basically pointed out in coded language that the Yankees' lineup had gone to another level with the addition of Beltran to their coaching staff.

 

[N o o d l e s]

A judge has reopened the sealed letter this afternoon

“Jonathan Schiller, a lawyer representing the Yankees, told Evan Drellich of The Athletic the team disagrees with the decision since the case was previously dismissed, though the plaintiffs have appealed that earlier decision with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals”

Some owners probably want a lockout a this point because they are getting tired of the players rejecting any major changes to the game.

Reinsdorf is trying to bankrupt the new Cubs channel and force them to come back to the station he owns 50% of

Reinsdorf is trying to bankrupt the new Cubs channel and force them to come back to the station he owns 50% of

Doubtful that this is Reinsdorf's motivation. And even if it is, Tom Ricketts has been a more than willing accomplice...f*** the Cubs.

Cubs owner Tom Ricketts continues to cry poor
Ricketts said, “Here’s something I hope baseball fans understand. Most baseball owners don’t take money out of their team. They raise all the revenue they can from tickets and media rights, and they take out their expenses, and they give all the money left to their GM to spend.” Ricketts continued, “The league itself does not make a lot of cash. I think there is a perception that we hoard cash and we take money out and it’s all sitting in a pile we’ve collected over the years. Well, it isn’t. Because no one anticipated a pandemic. No one expects to have to draw down on the reserves from the past. Every team has to figure out a way to plug the hole.”
Pertaining to Ricketts’ claim that “the league itself does not make a lot of cash,” Forbes reported in December that, for the 17th consecutive season, MLB set a new revenue record, this time at $10.7 billion. In accounting, revenues are calculated before factoring in expenses, but unless the league has $10 billion in expenses, I cannot think of a way in which Ricketts’ statement can be true.
