I wonder how they know it's even legit

I don't know, but unless they cut up the card and test the paper, I'm out.

Yeah. There should be one that at least questioned it's authenticity and maybe one that pointed to the recent auction or at the very least a thread where we could all guess what it would sell for.

You are all so out of the loop. I was the underbidder.

Hahaha - I find it interesting that Nash interviewed so many people, quoting them when it fit his needs, but then basically claiming other parts of what he read here (among others, my thoughts regarding the mount being re-used) as his own analysis. Good job Peter.
