DEA Bust Yields Trove of Rare Baseball Cards

Long accustomed to confiscating snazzy cars and jewelry from those who run afoul of the law, the DEA found itself in possession of something a little more unusual when it nabbed a Tennessee doctor who was dispensing fraudulent prescriptions—an impressive collection of baseball cards worth $280,000. The doc faces 20 years, and the DEA is considering an auction. Some of the cards:

• 1909 Ty Cobb from the rare T206 series

• 1938 Goudey card featuring Joe DiMaggio

• 1909 Bill O'Hara—$6,000

• 1912 Ty Cobb—$15,000

• 1952 Willie Mays —$3,000

• 1964 Harmon Killebrew—$1,500
