Default Opinions on Sholess Joe...

Well, if you read Dr. Koos earlier paragraph response, he says essentially what we needed to hear to finally be able to fully doubt the cards authenticity. Here's a cut-and-paste from his posting above:

This card is, as I bought it...already Pro slabbed and has NEVER appeared anywhere at auction described as a restored card. It's only sin is that it resides in a Pro Holder. A distinct factor in it's NOT being, or deserving to be a $30,000 card.


My point is this. If this card was not a useless piece of crap-cardboard waste-of-money, Dr. Koos would have freed this valuable $30,000 potential from its hideous PRO-tomb, and he would have had this beautiful piece of historic memorabilia properly slabbed and graded by PSA or MINT or SGC or SCD or anyone else that has a good (not ridiculous) reputation. He says himself, above, "...it's only sin is that it resides in a Pro Holder". THEN GET IT OUT, FOR GOD'S SAKE! Do the math. One week's turnaroud time and $30 in grading and shipping fees to boost the value of this card to $30K, and to finally erase any question of its authenticity. Am I missing somenthing?? I'm not a PhD or an MD, so I don't have the Dr. mantra before my name to try and lend credibility to myself, but this seems like an EASY FIX... Ya think?
