‘Baggie Find’ is better than lottery, consigner says
A bout 10 to 15 years ago, a woman was helping clean out a house after her relative had passed away.
The woman was given a box of items that were children orientated: paper dolls, books and some toys. There was also a regular sandwich-sized baggie filled what she thought were old advertisements because of their small size. She thought nothing of it.
In mid-October this year, the woman, “Sue,” stumbled upon the old baggie with the “advertisement” cards. As a mixed media artist, Sue incorporates items into her art. She had hung on to the baggie to possibly use the images in a painting. She had planned to glue them onto a canvas.
One day, Sue was talking with a family friend. He’s a sports fan, so she thought he would get a kick out of the cards. She’d never showed them to anyone before and went to her studio to pull them out.
