This is a book About a Boy named Griffin who goes inside an abandoned house with his best friend Ben as a protest toward building a skate park. Griffin finds a rare Baseball card, and brings it to a local dealer (S. Wendall, nicknamed "Swindle") and Griffin is told it is a fake and buys it for $50. Griffin later sees Swindle on the news boasting about the card which, as it turns out, is no fake. Griffin, Ben and some other local kids steal it back. The police confiscate it, and give it to its rightful owner, who happens to be the aunt of one of the kids who stole it. She generously gave it to him, but his mother forced him to give it to a museum which, in turn, used the money to build a skate park.
