Also, I agree with the original poster. What a terrible, lazy and shoddy reporting job by this TV station. Sadly, this is indicative of most television news reporting these days.
Did the reporters contact a single hobby expert before running an absurd story like this? No, they just report as fact that the boy has a fortune in cards, when in reality he has a bunch of reprints made to look old and popped into cheap, fake holders. It's actually a sad story about an innocent boy who was conned out of $150 by the lowest scum of the Earth.
Do the reporters at this station honestly believe a kid with $150 was able to buy the Top 5 rarest cards in history? Clearly the story doesn't add up at all -and yet there are zero follow-up questions. The reporters were conned just as easily with this story as the young boy was out of his $150. Pathetic.
