You Can Buy Unclaimed Items, Just Not the Teeth-- Part 1

From the July 28, 2017, Chicago Tribune by Kim Janssen.

Lots of weird stuff gets stored in Illinois safe deposit boxes according to State Treasurer Michael Frerichs.  One of his lesser-known duties is the safe-keeping of privately-owned unclaimed cash, bonds and sticks  and safe deposit boxes that are typically lost or forgotten after Illinoisans pass on.

And some of those items are rare baseball cards such as Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider, collectible coins and jewelry.  Also unclaimed are such as swords, sneakers, human hair and teeth.

Some of the unclaimed items will be put up for auction at the Illinois State Fair on August 19.
