1,600 Vintage Baseball Cards Found Hidden During Idaho Home Renovation
Unfortunately, an appraiser says the cards are of little value. "I'm not sure I have the heart to rip them down," the homeowner says.
When Melissa Brodt purchased a fixer upper house in Boise, Idaho, for $324,000, she knew she had a lot of work to do.
Renovations started immediately, and no room needed more work than a bedroom with an ugly green wall.
I went in, got brave, said Im gonna deal with whatever was underneath these, Brodt said.
The first step was peeling off the faux tile wallpaper. The more she peeled, the more she revealed. Hidden behind the wall, she discovered a giant collection of baseball cards.
There were a whopping 1,600 cards in total.
Brodt found out that the collection belonged to Chris Nelson, who grew up in the house and had plastered the cards to his bedroom wall 30 years ago.
