That story almost brought tears to my eyes .....from laughing so hard ! It combined every element possible in the story of the card's history to describe the card : a deceased uncle who was a collector and Babe Ruth fan, mysteriously mailing the card home in a letter, a safe found in an attic years later, a grieving family member (a sister ), the caring card authenticator/dealer offering an absurd amount of money for the card but the seller not taking it, a request to sell the card from the deceased and the family to benefit , and finally the concerned and not too informed seller of the card giving it an overblown detailed description.
