The Ewing was found in the wall used as insulation as a lot of times back then people would use any form of paper as insulation in the walls. This one was found in a hole in the floor boards along with toys and bottles. Not really the same scenario as the Ewing. Also, like I said, I hope it is legit and the guy has a real Cobb. I just don't believe the story yet.

Wasn't there a picture a few months ago of that guy holding a T206 Wagner that he "found"?

My grandfather and I once found a single 1956 Luis Aparicio— a HOF rookie card—behind the stove in his sister’s apartment. Doubtless it belonged to his nephew, and fell back there in 1956 or thereabouts. Would some call BS on that story because it was a star card and no others were found?

I wouldn't call BS on that find, but also not sure I would compare an Aparicio RC with a Croft's Cobb. Now, if you said you found a 52 Topps Mantle behind the stove I might call BS.
