JoannI was skeptical at the start, but then started changing my mind.
First, the photos of the TT's weren't familiar to anyone here - no stolen scans, etc
Second, it was that sky didn't seem to know exactly what he had. Someone joking would have been more precise at the start. When someone listed all backs in T206 he said he thought he had them all. When he actually listed them his backs were more common. Also thought he had a T206 Plank, but the photo was E93. So either he was legit and knew he had something but not exactly what, or else someone that was sophisticated enough to joke was doing a great acting job - full of nice touches. I tend to believe the former.
Finally, his reactions have simply rung true for me. Everything from not knowing exactly what he had to being afraid to take them out of the holders once he figured out he had something good.
Those are just my impressions. It could still turn out to be a hoax, but if it is I will consider it a dang fine one!
