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. She stopped for a moment and admired the picture. “Red Stocking B. B. Club of Cincinnati,” the card read, under the reddish-brown color photo of 10 men with their socks pulled up to their knees. As a collector and seller, it's her job to spot old items that might have value today , It’s what Bernice, 72, and her husband, Al Gallego, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique store . This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay . She took a picture, wrote a description and put it up for auction She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents . Later that night she got a few odd inquiries—someone wanting to know whether the card was real, someone wanting her to end the auction and sell him the card immediately . The card is actually 139 years old . Sports card collectors call the find "extremely rare" and estimate the card could fetch five, or perhaps, six figures at auction . Just like that, Bemice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story . "I didn't even know baseball existed that far back," Gallego says, "I don't think that I've ever been to a baseball game . " The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back . It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200 . When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was—an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings . "When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," Mirigian says “They’ve uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine . That card is history . It's like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso . " Q: What would be the best title for the passage?
