Officials at a Baltimore museum dedicated to Babe Ruth are searching for the owner of a $500,000 rookie card loaned to the facility in 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 them 12 years ago. They recently decided to create a special exhibit around the card when Forbes magazine revealed its worth. Gibbons said the museum entered an agreement with Richard’s son, Glenn, after his death in 2001, and officials thought the owner would like to know the good news about the card. However, they discovered he was no longer at his address and didn’t leave any forwarding information. Internet searches and calls to numbers listed under the name Glenn Davis have been unsuccessful.
