Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
BALTIMORE, June 29 (UPI) -- Officials at a Baltimore museum dedicated to Babe Ruth said they are searching for the owner of a $500,000 rookie card loaned to the facility in June 1998.
Mike Gibbons, executive director of the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum, said officials had no idea the 1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth rookie card was so valuable when Richard Davis loaned it to the collection 12 years ago and they recently decided to create a special exhibit around the card when Forbes magazine revealed its worth as $500,000, the Baltimore Sun reported Tuesday.
Gibbons said the museum entered an agreement with Davis' son, Glenn Davis, after his death in 2001 and officials thought the owner would like to know the news about the card. However, they discovered he was no longer at his old address and did not leave any forwarding information.
Gibbons said Internet searches and calls to numbers listed under the name Glenn Davis failed to turn up any information about the man's whereabouts.
