Bad Trade: Family Member Swaps Williams Swag for Auto Repair
Collectors live in fear of the dog tearing up a valuable card.** A visitor dropping a drink on their autographed Babe Ruth photo.** A young family member selling off something for pennies on the dollar.
In suburban Chicago, such a scenario actually played itself out* between Christmas and New Year’s.
A police report indicates that a family member looking for ways to pay a car repair bill decided to sell a collection of Ted Williams memorabilia that belonged to someone in the home.
The auto shop bill?* Around $200.
The value of Teddy Ballgame memories?* About five grand.
Oops.
There’s no word on exactly what made up the collection but we can assume the owner was more than a little steamed.
According to Pioneer Local, police told the resident it was a civil matter.
