SRP 2011 REVIEW: This book is a good book because it tells the story of Griffin Bing, who finds a Babe Ruth Baseball card in a soon to be demolished house that was to be two weeks earlier in the book. After he finds the card he's tricked to giving it to a man named S. Wendell who says the card is a remake from 1967 and isn't valuable and he then tries to sell it at an auction house. Griffin Then has to prove he can steal his rightful card back and show the town kids have the same rights as adults!
