I was curious if any news outlet ever acknowledge their mistake in running a story of a guy buying a fake when I ran across his brother's FB page that states "Everyone say a prayer for my brother! He will know if he has a real honus Wagner card worth up to $2,000,000 by 8:00am!" This was posted on the 18th. So Friday, the 19th, it seems Jason Mars should have had his answer. Yet there hasn't been a mention since the 17th. You would think that if it was real the news would be all over the answer that came in on the 19th "by 8:00am".

Wow so his brother's post got me curious and found that Jason Mars has listed an auction on ebay purely to try and advertise this fake card:

Also on top of that he was spamming the news agencies (along with ESPN) about the card prior to someone finally picking up the story. He was posting:

Interesting. I guess we have two winners here... the original eBay seller who got close to $200 for a reprint, and PSA who got some coin for the grading fee (isn't the fee $500 for a card of this magnitude?).

This card is as fake as Dolly Parton's tits. I hope someone reaches out to this buyer before he goes on a crazy spending spree.

Not mad about the news coverage though, any exposure to vintage cards is good exposure.

Keepin it classy!

Well Jason mars has now deleted his facebook account. On this someone from blowout called sgc to inquire about the card. Their response... "Yeah we got it. It was a terrible fake" looms like his scam didn't work and he is now trying to dissapear.

I'm sure he'll resurface with a new ebay account and some more crappy reprints.
