You guys probably didn't see the thread about basketball player Giannis A. showing off his collection of his own cards. Although many were cards Panini sent him to sign and put in packs, he never returned them. So he basically stole those 1/1 cards from Panini. Nice job, multi-millionaire.
But yes, a lot of this sounds fishy. But just like the guy who bought the PSA 9 Mantle for double it sold for last year and was "thrilled" to get it, they're basically spending the same amount as a Super Bowl commercial to get the press and articles explaining who they are. I think the card itself is secondary.
