Default ...Cut off your schlausen...

Didn't mean to cast any aspersions on people who find their grandpa's stash: was just pointing out the way-too-common sales pitch used by shady dealers posing as collectibles or sports naifs in order to hustle buyers looking to take advantage of such supposed ignorance. I like Al's variation on the sucker lure, but could imagine a hypester coming up with - (cue the old Carson routine with Art Fern waving his baton) - "this vintage Mantle card was found by a little old lady rummaging through her recently deceased husband's bank deposit box, blah, blah...."
