The Nonprofit Quarterly | @npquarterly | Great Philanthropy: Baseball Card Windfall for Nuns

The Nonprofit Quarterly | @npquarterly | Great Philanthropy: Baseball Card Windfall for Nuns: "The School Sisters of Notre Dame in Baltimore, average age 76, are apparently big sports fans, gathering around the big screen TV in the common room for all major football and baseball games and sometimes even wearing local colors. And so it is fitting that they just sold a 100-year-old Honus Wagner baseball card for $220,000, making the Roman Catholic order’s international teaching and ministry and its work with the poor a bit easier."
