"There was a few hundred in cash. Some coins. Mr. Hari said they was valuable. Then he pulled out one of those metal fire boxes. It was locked. Mr. Hari popped it with a screwdriver."
"Where was Punk?"
"Oh. He was gone. Mr. Hari paid him and he left. Only me and Mr. Hari."
"The metal box. What did you see?"
"Mr. Hari pulled out a bunch of old baseball cards. He goes through them one at a time. Nodding his head and saying "This one is very good; Oh, this one is so cool; Shit, can you believe it, a Babe Ruth." Then he gets to this one card and says "Holy shit, I can't believe it."
"Rebel, what was the holy shit card."
"Gee, Mr. Picker, I don't know nothing about baseball cards. Mr. Hari said it was a Wagner something or a something Wagner. Honest Mr. Picker, I don't remember too good."
Between 1909 and 1911 the American Tobacco Company inserted 2.5" x 1.5" baseball cards in their cigarette packs. I suspect that Bigfoot discovered a rare Honus Wagner. One of the best players of his time, Wagner is a Hall of Famer. His nickname was “The Flying Dutchman" and he spent most of his long twenty-one year career with the Pirates. He won eight batting titles and had a career batting average of 327. If this is the card in question it could fetch anywhere from $1 to $1.5 million dollars at auction. Maybe worth killing for?
Connor piped up. "There's your missing piece Picker."
What makes this card rare is that it was pulled from production after 200, give or take, were issued. Enthusiasts speculate that somewhere in the vicinity of sixty of the 1909 Wagner edition still exist. It is commonly believed that many of the remaining cards are in poor condition.
"Rebel, thanks a bunch buddy. You've been very helpful. See me next week; I'll have something for you when this is all over." I turned to Jaw-lone. "Do me favor, take Rebel home." The two men got up and left.
