robfouchI'm very surprised Real Sports is even bothering with this story. It's actually a very good show and does -- for the most part -- first-rate journalism.
I work at a large newspaper and was always taught that just because huge dollar figures are being thrown around -- i.e. in a big lawsuit -- that doesn't mean you pursue the story if the lawsuit is ridiculous on its face.
If every expert in the hobby declares this a fake, that really puts an end to the story. Unless it's a story focusing on how people get duped, or how to perpetrate a big scam. But from the show's description, that doesn't sound like the case.
