Are you in to collecting vintage baseball cards? If you spot this one, it’s worth a bundle. The Associated Press reports a 1954 Ted Williams baseball card, issued by the Wilson Franks hot dog company, was stolen from a collector’s hotel room in upstate New York on October 3. The card shows Red Sox slugger Ted Williams swinging a bat with a package of hot dogs on the top left corner, his name across the top, and signature across his body. The highly sought after card cost the collector $5,500. Williams was one of only 20 players depicted in the set that year.
