... damn - here is this thread, and me without beer and popcorn.
... Leon, PLEASE don't lock the thread. It's just too unbelieveable, and despite the complete disregard the board has for this person and this card, just the magnitude of the attempted sale makes it (unfortunately) legit vintage card news.
... And yes, my initial reaction to the first post in the first thread was 'this is so pathetic it's comic'. Definitely kind of funny.
... It reminds me of talking politics with my sisters. Which in a way goes like this:
(Both looking at garbage can)
Sister: That's an antique Chinese vase.
Joann: No, no, that's actually a galvanized aluminum garbage can.
Sister: It is NOT. It is an antique Chinese vase. Probably priceless.
Joann: Really - it's an old dented garbage can that you can get at Lowe's for $20.
Sister: Well, you're entitled to your opinion.
Joann: It's not my opinion. It's fact. Every reasonable and notable source out there says it's a garbage can.
Sister: That's just the liberal media!
Heee. Really. Complete denial of any factual input in favor of crazy ideas that come from ... who knows where. Soundbites.
... It's not exactly Stonehenge. HAHAHAHAA. Now THAT is a good way to start a day!

Edited to add:
In actual political discussion with sisters, substitute this first line:
Sister: Things are going very well in Iraq. Freedom is on the march!
lolol. You can guess the rest from there. But really, there are some creepy paralles in these two Wagner threads!
