STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

A family in Saskatchewan, Canada, found a cardboard box which contained more than 10,000 hockey cards - you know, like baseball and football cards, the kinds that kids collect and collectors pay for. These were from 1979 and included rookie cards of Wayne Gretzky. The cards were auctioned for 3.7 million U.S. dollars. That'll buy a lot of biscuits. It's MORNING EDITION.
