• And on that same trip to the Big Apple, a reason to visit the New York Public Library
• Yankee players weren't the only ones to be pictured on a baseball card
• What started as one of the ultimate yard sale finds.........
• .......turns out to be a nightmare for the woman who paid $5 for it & sold it for nearly $10,000
  
• ........and, ultimately, might turn out to be stolen property
