Jim, I don't think that's the case - he already knows it's not Jackson, and that the other one wasn't Walker (the bogus Fleetwood Walker piece also originated with EVAJOY91). It looks like he obtains old baseball photos and then tries to find someone in the photo who looks like a famous baseball player. If he can come up with a close enough visual match, he sends it to an auction house and hopes it flies. The only praying going on is that an auction house will accept it and that a couple of collectors will believe the BS.
