CEREAL BOXES VALUABLE TO BASEBALL COLLECTORS
CARLE PLACE, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) Making money in baseball collectibles may not be in the cards it could be in cereal boxes. According to baseball memorabilia expert Steve Verkman, old Wheaties boxes can fetch big bucks from hungry collectors especially several 1930s-era boxes with baseball cards on the back. One 1935 Wheaties box featuring Lou Gehrig is worth $3000 and even those featuring non-baseball athletes like Babe Didrickson have value as well. Verkman says a surprising number of homes could be hiding a small fortune in old cereal boxes but only if the boxes are empty. He says no one wants boxes with the cereal still in there because Those attract bugs.
