2. East Hampton Shop Sells Chase Baseball Card Worth Millions (danspapers.com) — A routine stop at CardVault in East Hampton turned life‑changing for one local family after their $515 card package yielded a one‑of‑a‑kind Shohei Ohtani–Aaron Judge card valued in the millions. The anonymous buyer's 8‑year‑old son discovered the rare dual autographed "logoman" card after returning from camp, and the shop's manager estimates it could fetch $5 to $10 million at auction.
