Good evening everyone and welcome back to Fake or Fortune Sportscards Edition.
And here once again we have Evan Goodbody from Florida. Welcome back Evan. Great to see you again.
Hello. Thanks for having me.
Now Evan, before we reveal what our experts thought of the US300 you submitted to our team could you tell us a little bit about your grandfather. We know that he was a member of the famous BO boards and a Juan Soto super collector but apparently he was also a "Nuclear Samurai"!
Yeah, that's right. Grandad fought in WWIII in the 2020's. He was part of a joint Japanese/American battalion which hit the beaches of mingwong province following a nuclear strike on Beijing. Place was radioactive AF. He was cooked the moment he set foot on the beach.
Sally the show host nods gravely.
Grandad and all the men were forever referred to as "Nuclear Samurai". He hated the place. Sorely missed his Juan Soto collection.
Although, I believe your grandfather did take some Juan Soto cards with him when he went off to China.
Not cards exactly. They were Juan Soto coins, or buttons or something. His good luck charms. Pulled them from a blaster.
Sounds like a great man.
Evan tears up.
Alright Evan. Please. Take a moment to compose yourself.
I'm alright. He loved BO so much did,grandad. Said the card market would've been nothing without it. All the pumping and that.
Right.
He said they managed to pump a Trout US175 to $5000 at one point.
Sally laughs. That's crazy Evan! That was a lot of money back then!
Grandad thought so too. That's why he collected Soto. Plus Soto was much better.
Indeed he was. Thank you Evan. Wonderful story. Are you nervous?
A little.
We have the results back....
OK
It's... a... genuine Juan Soto. How good is that!
Amazing! I don't know what to say. Thanks Sally.
Ok everyone. That's it for tonight. We'll be back next week with another episode of Fake or Fortune Sports Card Edition.
