Oh, that’s hilarious! Clearly I’m not a CJ expert . So you’re saying that the self-described “world’s top food content creator” might be full of shit?

Or maybe there was actually an original CJ card in the box, but someone at Yahoo just pulled a stock photo to illustrate it and unknowingly landed on the reprint.

Just, Wow.

Wow what a total scam. Calls into question the legitimacy of everything they do.

That would have been MASSIVE hobby news if it was real. To my knowledge no one has ever found an intact box with card inside from 14/15. I think I've only seen 2 or maybe 3 open boxes from that period (with the big red PRIZE on the outside).

I've got one that I think predates the 14/15 box.

It's the internet. Believe everything is fake/a scam and be surprised when it isn't.

This story is quite surprising to me, at least on one level.

I’m shocked people would actually spend their time watching someone eating out-of-date food.

I am shocked you are shocked. Heck I hear older men will pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for mass produced pictures of young athletic men in uniforms. To make it even more shocking they form groups to discuss those young athletic men.

Collectors of all ages will shell out money for cards. That has been going on for decades.

Spending time watching somebody eat old food? Sorry, I don't see the appeal.

There is literally a guy that’s become internet famous for eating and rating MRE’s from as far back as WWI.
