Badly for who? At the end of the video it shows he owns a few graded cards. So he has to know he could have this one graded. I'm not sure what his end game is, but I assume he knows the card is fake and likes the attention. No one is going to pay 6 or 7 figures for this card, and he probably bought it for a few bucks.

Badly for the owner. Let's watch how it all plays out.

My point is how bad can it end for someone who probably paid 5 or 10 bucks for what I assume he knows is a reprint? He got his 15 minutes of fame, which I also assume is what he was after.

I think he said he paid 2, don't exaggerate.

I must have skipped past that part of the video. You'd think a comment from the the store owner who let this "$4 million" card go for 2 bucks would be part of the story. Or perhaps this journalist could ask why this lucky guy hasn't had the card graded yet.

I think he can get 5 bucks for it now....that would be a 250% profit. Not bad.

The thing it has going for it is that it is not as fakey as most fake cards. I say $10 with included shipping.

It's a small world but I've been to that shop. The store owner sold me 3 E94s for about $100 or so. He's not the brightest bulb in the batch. The shop is in a really seedy part of town with lots of tweakers and vagrants. As for the card, the background is gray!

Not sure about the anthropologist, but Giorgio Tsoukalos is pretty sure it's the work of aliens
