A 'baseball' that turned out to be a Mastodon tooth

www.nytimes.com

They Thought It Was an Old Baseball. It Was a Mastodon Tooth.

Remarkably well preserved ice age remains like those discovered recently in a yard near Scotchtown, N.Y., are rare — but not as rare as you might think.

Funny/interesting piece from NYT, melding two collectible categories... sports and fossils!

Michael Rubin backstory from the Madness guys

Watched the Sports Card Madness 'expose' on Michael Rubin- thought it was pretty interesting, learning about his childhood, his early businesses, etc. It's well put together and worth a watch. Long- like 30 minutes, but I really enjoyed it.

Treasure Hunt!

www.cnn.com

A Bitcoin millionaire hid $2 million in treasure across the US. Here’s how to find them | CNN

Inspired by his love for fantasy, Jon Collins-Black created “There’s Treasure Inside,” a book with hints leading to hidden treasure chests containing more than $2 million worth of prizes across the country.

A guy hid a bunch of collectibles/valuables in chests scattered in random places and wrote a book with clues on how to find them. Not sure the full list of items but the pic CNN uses has a Jordan rookie card in it.

Who’s going to try??
