Floods Claim Baseball Card Collection

Roger Colbenson was a collector at heart.

The boxes that stored his cards included everything from vintage Hall of Famers to 1986 Topps. Late summer flooding in his hometown of Rushford, Minnesota swallowed up a collection he says was worth well into six figures and included a safe full of rookie cards.  He thought at least they were out of danger but the safe turned out not to be waterproof.
