Default Billy and the People's Court

When this card was at the height of its value, it was the subject of a lawsuit between two kids on "The People's Court". While examining the card, Judge Wapner stated that he couldn't understand why a Billy Ripken card could be worth so much and that "his brother is much more famous". Rusty the bailiff walked over, pointed to the relevant part of the card and whispered something to Wapner. Wapner's eyebrows went up, he exclaimed "Oh!" and the case proceeded.
