I'm waiting for the one where an elderly man who still uses a metal detector on the beach unearths a tin box full of Wagner T206s that was buried by Wagner himself because provenance.

This really did happen!!
.... well, sort of....

It was actually an elderly man that was losing his sight and metal detecting in a flower pot, when behold, he unearthed not only a tin full of pack-fresh T206 Wagners.... there was also an accompanying Ty Cobb tin full of high-grade T206 Cobb with Cobb back cards. A detailed note was also found, explaining how the pair agreed that all was forgiven for the '09 Series, and that they - hand in hand and while singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game in unison - personally placed these cards.

I think it's somehow related to every ghost being a civil war soldier if a man or lady in a white Victorian dress. Nobody is ever haunted by an unruly hippie ghost.

Here's a recent eBay find of a Nonsports version of the Honus Wagner:

Come to think of it I don't think I've ever been in my attic, maybe there's something up there.

Everyone was Cleopatra or Julius Caesar. No one was ever the guy picking up the elephant shit at the end of the parade honoring Caesar.
