"The Great Town of Fresno" gets some Leno love
It's taken me a while to find a "Tonight Show" clip of Fresno's own Bernice Gallego -- or as they billed her on the show "the Baseball Card Granny." Here's the best I can do -- the whole show via Hulu.
If you want to skip to Gallego's part, sit through the quick ad, then go to fourth segment (click the fourth dot at the bottom, it's around the 30-minute mark).
The auction for the card is currently at $25K, with 19 days still to go. Here's a photo of the card, Bernice and Jay.

I had to laugh when she walked out with her purse(typical old lady thing to do), but then realized she probably had the card in there.
Good interview. I don't know if she'll get a million dollars for it in this economy, but I wish her good luck none the less.
