Great story. When I saw it yesterday on my news feed, I imagined the same thing but with comic books. I collected them heavily for many years and couldn't imagine what I'd do if I found 16 mint copies of Action Comics #1 in Grandpa's attic.
I'd definitely sell a few right away to shore up my personal finances and set up for retirement early. Travel, see the world.
I read that they are going to be careful not to flood the market with too many of these cards at once, lest they devalue them.
From the AP story, this nugget tells you just what a find this was:
"The company [Professional Sports Authenticator] grades cards on a 1-to-10 scale based of their condition. Up to now, the highest grade it had ever given a Ty Cobb card from the E98 series was a 7. Sixteen Cobbs found in the Ohio attic were graded a 9 — almost perfect."
