This is the first article about this card that sounds like an actual journalist wrote it. It would have been better if they asked the guy why he hasn't had the card authenticated by an actual grading company. But at least they mentioned who those are and that collectors don't believe the story.
"I was told by an auction place back east that the beginning bid would start at $1.5 (million) through them and that it would probably go for $4.5 (million) and up," Ball told the television station. "It deserves to be on the wall of Yankee Stadium, right next to Babe Ruth's statue. It deserves to go home."
:rolleyes:

LOL....Maybe they can buy it for $10 and put it alongside the fake Wagner card that those two African-American guys are peddling.

In a way he's probably right about it belonging in Yankee Stadium. I was in the memorabilia room there when it opened and I don't believe I looked at a single authentic autograph.
