Could old Game of Columbia have value, help pay the bills? Mrs. Burton was told there were only 500 of the games made and sold in the 1970s. Their board game is still in its original cellophane cover. They are wondering if the game now has special collector value. Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Linda Waggener Irene Foster Burton of Columbia lost her husband J.C. Burton five months ago and now she finds herself struggling to keep things going without him and the income from his garage business in Oak Grove, near Sano. Part of her grieving and loss includes the burden of looking at things she can possibly sell to help pay the bills, and that process lead her to rediscover a keepsake that she says J.C. had always told her never to sell because it might have collector value someday. The keepsake is a monopoly game called Columbia. It was put out by the Columbia Adair County Chamber of Commerce in the 1970s as a fundraiser. She and J.C. bought the game after making four tries to find the Chamber office open when it was located in the basement of then Lerman's building in a space across Reed Street from State Farm insurance. They were told it was one of only 500 copies of the game produced. One copy of the game was buried in Adair County's Time Capsule. Click on this article for memories of some of it's contents. All Irene knows is that she would sure have some relief if the game turns out to be something of great value now. Their son Barry is taking time from work at his Russell Springs Burtons Auto Salvage to try and help his mother. He asked if Columbiamagazine.com might be the place to find people who can answer the question of what value, if any, the game might have today? Barry can be reached at 270-585-5299.
