Quoted from the Cape Cod Times article:
====
The cards' owner, whose name was not released by police, identified the collection as his, saying they were family heirlooms.
====
Someone must've hated this guy if they passed down a tattered 1987 Topps card and a Babe Ruth reprint!
Estimated values for the real cards:
Red Cobb: $500 - $750
Bender: $100 - $150
Wagner: $50 tops
T201 Cobb: $100 at best
T201 Johnson: $50 at best
So my high values got me to $1100, not $11,000. So it was just a case of an extra zero, that's all!
