The Baseball Card

Prolouge
There was a baseball card, a Hank Aaron signed rookie card, and there were three kids that would kill for it. Jackson, Dwayne, and Brett. They were going to have a big battle for the card. Before I can tell you that, I have to tell you this.

Chapter 1
Jackson, Dwyane, and Brett were all friends who loved baseball. Jackson had a Willie Mays card. Dwayne had a George Brett card. Brett had the best of them all, a Babe Ruth card.

"Hey Brett, I'll trade you a Mamy Ramirez card for your Randy Johnson card," Dwayne asked.

"No way, Dude," Brett said.

"Dude, check it out!"

"What is it?"

What is the thing Brett saw? He saw a billboard for two brand-new baseball cards that just came out. A signed Hank Aaron rookie card and a David Ortiz signed rookie jersey card. Once Dwayne saw that billboard he said, "I call dibs on the David Ortiz card." Then Dwayne ran out the door.

Chapter 2
Once Dwayne got back, he said, "I got it. I got it!" Dwayne put the David Ortiz card in a thing of 1 inch thick glass. Then, he put it in a safe for extra protection. "One card left." Jackson said.

The Hank Aaron card is all the way in California. "We are going to have to get a car to get us all from Arizona to California," Brett said.

"Don't worry, guys, my Dad has a BMW he said I could borrow any time," Dwayne said. It took the trio 18 hours to get from Arizona to California. Once they got there, a guy on the side of the road gave them a map on how to get to the place where the baseball card was held at. Once they got there, twenty other people were waiting to get the card.

"Dang, man, the card doesn't come out for another 2 weeks," Jackson said.

"What do you guys want to do then?" Brett asked.

"I say we go to a baseball card store that's not this place," Dwayne suggested.

When they got to Greg's card store, they found a huge assortment of cards. When they went over to the display case, they couldn't believe their eyes.

It was a Dan Quisenberry signed card! They asked Greg how much it is and he said that is $520.00.

"I don't think we can buy it," said Brett.

"We can, we have $2,000 dollars," Jackson said.

Once they paid for the card, they went back to their car, but it wasn't there.

"Where did the car go?" Dwayne asked.

After they looked for the car for two hours, they went to the cafe that was right across the street. When they got in there, a news reporter asked them if they wanted to buy a Joe Dimaggio rookie card for $600.00.

"We'll take it," Brett decided.

"WAIT!!!" Jackson yelled.

"What is it?" Dwayne asked.

After they talked about it, they decided that they would buy the card.

Once they finished eating, they went to a hotel because it was 9:00pm. A bellhop asked them if they wanted to buy a Jackie Robinson jersey baseball card for $280.00.

"The Hank Aaron card costs $700.00," Jackson said.

"We'll still have enough to get the Hank Aaron card if we buy this card," Dwayne said.

So they bought the card and spent the night at the hotel. The next morning they went out to look at baseball card stores. When they bought the Jackie Robinson card, the bellhop gave them $1,200.00 for getting more cards. When they got to Bob's Bargains, he had a display case full of baseball cards. After they looked at all of the baseball cards, they found it.
