I once ripped a pack and pulled a Ruth. Unfortunately it was a pack of 1991 Conlon Collection.

Why does everything have to be rotten in DENMARK? Can't it be Sweden or Finland? And since those places are so cold, it's hard to believe stuff goes rotten very quickly anyway. Peru, I could see...............

The coinkidinks are amazing............

Color me skeptic as well. It makes for a better story with monster cards in it.

I honestly hope it was real. No reason to root against a fellow hobbyist.

But it seems highly implausible that the Clemente was the last card. Wouldn't you have seen that through the cello? Can't imagine it would have sold for $2k if that was the case.

The Clemente was the next to last card.

Right, sorry to mislead. I should have said it was the last card where there was any suspense at all...i.e., the last card that didn't already show through the cello.

Right, and that makes it even more unbelievable. It couldn't have been the last card, because we knew the last card before the pack was opened. By having the Clemente as the next to last card, he built up the drama to very end.

Good pick up that looks like someone printed a couple of letters on the back.
