Sotheby’s to auction ‘the most complete Jewish baseball card collection in the world’

JL;DR SUMMARY Seymour Stoll's extensive collection of Jewish baseball cards, touted as the most comprehensive in existence, is set for auction at Sotheby's, with an expected price between $500,000 and $700,000. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
