And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

You may want to start looking through your basement or through your closets because an unopened case of ice hockey cards found in a basement office just sold for 3.1 million dollars. It was an unopened case, 16 boxes, 48 cards in each box. It's from the

hockey action cards with bubble gum one big series from a company that doesn't even exist anymore in Canada.

So the family who discovered the case hidden in their Saskatchewan office were a static

you have to sail yeah no kidding a whole box for a little over 3 million now I'm sure

that the person who purchased it is planning on

making more than 3.1 million dollars so it went up for auction and heritage

auctions in Dallas, Texas.

And I mean, one of the cards that could possibly

be in the box, and they think that there could be, I don't know,

like 20 to 30 of these cards in this box.

One of the cards alone sold for 3.75 million three years ago a Wayne Gretzky card.

So there and there may be you know at least 20 possibly 30 of those cards in this box pretty incredible so I mean

16 boxes 48 packs a box 14 cards a pack so that's over 10,000

total cards and they were originally intended to be sold to large stores who would

open them and sell the individual packs to customers.

And they've all been, they were all, you know, authenticated before the auction, really, yeah.

So it was discovered when the father was clearing out his office with the help of his son.

And the father is an old school collector who bought the sealed case years ago intending to open it and build sets of

cards to sell but simply never got around to it and the family I guess is

asked to you to remain anonymous.
