One Maryland woman got the return on her investment into a used piano and much more after discovering an old baseball card hidden away inside: An M101-4 Babe Ruth rookie card from 1916 sold for $130,053 at auction this week.
Maryland resident Ellen Kelly's aunt Nora died in 1969 but the piano remained in the family until around 1992, Kelly told told Sports Collectors Daily. She then bought it for $25 at the family’s estate sale. When she noticed a pedal was sticking, she had her friend come over to fix it. That's when the card, along with over 100 others, was discovered.
