To paraphrase, "I just hope it's a good deal". Brilliant strategy.

I guess it could happen. Many fools with money waiting to part with it.

It needs to be on the wall at Yankee stadium next to Ruth’s jersey, or was it bad. Heck, I don’t remember
He says he doesn’t have to sell it because he has other high end cards to sell. (And oh my, they are high end!)
And I wonder what those plastic cases are around his other high end cards? Maybe that might lend a clue as to how to seek authentication? Maybe? Nope, let’s call an anthropology professor. Sounds about right. Check the pulp!
Great way to start the morning. Extremely entertaining!

Fresno State Anthropology professor John Pryor studies items such as Native American artifacts. Baseball cards are new to him but he analyzed the lab results of the Babe Ruth card.

There you go.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but this story sounds eerily like the two guys with the fake Wagner. Didn’t they also get a lab to authenticate the age of the card instead of letting PSA or SGC have at it?

Who was the expert who put a 4.5 million dollar tag on it?

I thought he would have gone away by now. He’s really trying for 20 minutes here.

Don't worry, the bidding will start around a meager 1.5 mil.

That's what it's reminded me of from the start. If the card was authentic there would be no need to seek out local news stations and "forensic analysists" that can help give credibility to it.

You would just send it in to PSA or SGC and then off to a major auction house.

But, we all know that. It is entertaining though, and he's certainly getting attention.

The tears are him setting himself up for a GoFundMe page when this comes crashing down, so everyone feels for him.
