So, have you ever found something and was like 'I wonder what this is worth' only to look it up and see its worth over 100-200$ or more?

I work off my foodstamps at the local Family Mission where I live. Like always its full of drama and stress. On occasion we get to take stuff home. I've brought home clothes, Tiger Plushies, blankets and trinkets for mom, and apparently a 1997 Cleveland Indians Baseball with the team's names all over it!

How this ball was found was, we were finishing up some last minute cleaning at the mission on tuesday and Evalyn goes 'oo a baseball with names on it' I asked if I could have it and she handed it over to me. And that is how I got the ball.

Looking up the names found that it was from 1997, and that it is worth about $200 if I sell it. I could get more, who knows when the last this list was updated.

My heart stopped each time I deciphered the cursive writing and figured out a name, and stopped once again as each name said they were on the Indians team around 1996-1997.

Names I deciphered so far are:

Eric Plunk
Julio Franco
Jose Mesa
Mike Jackson
Charles Nagy
Paul Assenmacher
Pat Borders
Kevin Seitzer
Kevin Mitchell
Jim Thome
Matt Williams
Manny Ramirez
David Justice

what helped me figure out if this was a 96 or 97 ball was the fact that Borders was not on the team in 96 =)

So have you ever found something exciting or awesome? Where did you find it?
