$64,000 baseball card

California antiques dealer Bernice Gallego has hit a home run with her rare baseball card. 

 
She originally listed it on eBay for only 10 bucks. But she pulled it after learning it was quite a collector's item. 


Now, she's sold the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings team card for more than $64,000 dollars. That's more than double the previous record set for an identical card. 

 The Cincinnati Red Stockings were the first pro team in the U.S. Only a handful of cards are known to exist.  Gallego says she found it in a box of junk.
