72-year-old Fresno antique dealer Bernice Gallego put her baseball card on Ebay and made $64,073.
She found in an old box and once put on eBay for a mere $10!
The card is a 1869 Peck & Snyder advertisement which depicts the Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first professional baseball team and is considered to be the first baseball card.
Bernice has become somewhat of a celebrity, appearing on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," featured on the front page of Yahoo! and chronicled in The New York Times.
She has quite a sense of humor saying "I had hoped to bail out California from this financial emergency, but it didn't quite get that far. But maybe it'll bail out my credit cards."
She was also quote saying "I would have been happy with anything," she said. "We aren't greedy people. Like my mother used to say, save room for the dessert. We just had our dessert. And it was great."
Congrats, Bernice!
