Antiques Roadshow came to Green Bay, Wisconsin and while they didn’t find a Don Hutson jersey or one of Vince Lombardi’s old fedoras, they did welcome a nice group of valuable baseball cards.
In a show that aired Monday night, a local woman brought three cards from a larger 1950s childhood collection her husband apparently forgotten about until recently. She told host/auctioneer Grant Zahajko that the collection was stored in a grocery bag in the attic of the family’s home in Northeastern Wisconsin.
Three of the best cards in the collection were selected to be featured on the show.
You can watch below (the card segment starts at about 28:40) as the woman tells Zahajko how the couple almost lost the cards –and much more—to a natural disaster last year. If you can’t see the video, click here.
