Lee!
....You ain't kiddn'
Great auctions btw...true meat and potatoes of our hobby, your a true gentleman and collector, and you have AWESOME auctions!
Barry,
I watched the show, and like Barry, lamps weren't Tiffany??
I thought the show was real good, I think I'll watch it again...
I can't beleive it, but I actually felt bad for the guy!
I really think he convinced himself it was the real deal....at first, after seeing the guy's reaction, I really feel he thought it was real!
, or he is a great actor....as we all know, in about 1.2 seconds as soon as you see the card you can tell it's a fake 80's reprint like the GAZILLIONS that flood ebay each day......Johnny, btw, may I make an offer on your's??
Hearing the story for the past year or whatever, I never paid much attention to these guys, I just figured they were scammers trying to make a big payday and rip someone off.....but logic tells me, why in the world would anyone come on CNBC if they didn't convince himself it was the real deal??? or was he just trying to play it off like he "really" thought it was authentic just to avoid the legal ramifications if he tried to sell a reprint as the real deal for some stupid money????????????? I guess we'll never know....I know , for some reason, I try to find the good in some people , and maybe this guy has had his dreamed crushed was enough of a spanking to live and let live.....
I have a feeling this card will be auctioned and actually someone will pay a few hundred or maybe even 1 k for the novelty.....(btw, that's not me
)
anyway, glad this was laid to rest and now I can finally sleep knowing it isn't real
