You have to wonder how this happened. A Dallas country music station found something in an old prize closet that they didn't even know was there. And it's probably worth a fortune. 

While scouring through the unclaimed or unawarded prizes, they found a dusty old signed guitar. They didn't think much of it, until they examined it more closely. One of those signatures was from a young and then unknown Taylor Swift. After that, everything changed.

"I was about to re-use the guitar for an upcoming event because the signatures were faded, and the guitar was dusty," [Promotions Director Jessica MacKenzie-Williams] said in a statement. "But then after closer examination I recognized one of the signatures… Taylor's. I couldn't believe it!"

After verifying it was the real thing the question became - what to do with it? The station has decided to auction it off to the highest bidder, with proceeds going to a local children's hospital. 

I don't think any of the stations I worked at had an actual prize closet. But how is it this was never actually given away?
