"Mike" drop

The guys that found the mantle in the attic, inherited them or whatever , and have have zero invested in it and can submit in for grading and can do that all day. but why ask for 10,000 for a card or pay for that on a raw card..

He is basically talking about in the long run. Some are legit but its an unwise gamble. Some people win in vegas, most lose.....

My brother "won"

We were visiting on a camping trip and stopped in a casino to go to the buffet. (All you can eat, so in a way I "won" too being a hungry high school kid. especially at the soft serve ice cream dispenser )
Someone hit a dollar slot for more than he could carry, and my brother being 8 followed along picking up the dropped silver dollars.
Security got involved.
They brought over the winner, still carrying an armload of coins, and gave dad a lecture about letting his kid steal. letting was a stretch, none of us even knew.
About 30 seconds into the lecture the guy asked "how much did the kid get? My brother showed him 2 fistfuls of dollars, around $11 which isn't bad for an 8 year old.
The guy was like " you brought me all the way over here for $11?! let the kid keep it! and walked away to cash in his dollars.
