We reported Friday that Cleveland Police had a cache of vintage baseball cards in their latest auction of seized and forfeited items.
It turns out those cards didn't belong to a drug dealer or some other criminal doing time in the state pen.
They belonged to baseball card dealers who had probably forgotten all about them--or didn't know they were missing.
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer reported that the cards were stolen by a California doctor during a 2004 show at the IX Center. While the story doesn't mention which show, it's not a stretch to make the connection with the National Sports Collectors Convention since it's believed that was the only card show held in that location that year.
A doctor?
Wouldn't it have been just as easy to do a few more unnecessary tests on a patient?
