So Goodwin takes the jersey, authenticates it, tells Lader, then pulls a 180 and says he never had it?

I don't know. But the Defendant's lawyer or spokesman lawyer in the article claims that Goodwin/Beckett never took possession. I suppose it's possible someone else was responsible for it getting it to the authenticator and it never touched Goodwin's/Beckett's hands, but it seems to me that the AH would want to use its own expert to authenticate and would make arrangements. Why is Goodwin telling Kranepool or his agent that the jersey passed authentication--assuming the text exists and is attributed to Goodwin?

If Ed’s anything like me, he’ll find it in another year or two hanging in the closet under that winter coat that I don’t wear anymore.

Mea Culpa.
