    Bernice Gallego sat down one day this summer, as she does pretty much every day, and began listing items on eBay. She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card, admired the picture of the "Red Stocking B.B. Club of Cincinnati," the card read, under a sepia tone photo of 10 men with their socks pulled up to their knees. Then she did what she does with most items she comes across, she put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents.

    The actual reported value could be well over $100,000 from what I've found reported.

    as soon as she started getting inundated with emails about the cards authenticity she removed it from ebay. Supposedly it is going back on ebay with a much higher starting value
