question

Each year, the local boys' and girls' club sponsors a "Baseball Card Bonanza. " During the three- day event, collectors of baseball cards gather, exchanging and swapping old cards. A boy and a girl, both 12-year-old youngsters at the bonanza, were looking at each other's cards when they were approached by a 32-year-old collector. The collector asked the boy and girl if he could look through their baseball cards. The boy and girl nodded affirmatively. As the collector was flipping through the boy's cards, he found a 1948 card featuring Branch Rickey, the former owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The collector, who knew the card was worth more than 500,offeredtheboy50centsforthecard.TheboythoughtthecardhadverylittlevaluebecauseheknewthatRickeywasnotamajorleaguebaseballplayer.Theboyacceptedthe50centsandgavetheRickeybaseballcardtothecollector.Thenextdaytheboyfoundoutthatthebaseballcardwasworth500, offered the boy 50 cents for the card.
