Unless someone cracked the already slabbed one, this is a reprint.

metsandweezer · 02-08-2019, 01:11 PM

The guy’s crying about a fake baseball card lol

caflisch78 · 02-08-2019, 01:14 PM

Crummy part is it sounds like this guy has now attached so much faith and emotion into a 2 dollar reprint that it's going to ruin his life. Crying and what not, c'mon man!

"I told him my family's welfare depends on it. Bidding starts at two million dollars," he said.

lol

From the same location as Jason Mars Sparks, Nevada.

rngrdanny22 · 02-08-2019, 01:43 PM

It has to be someone connected to him. Or there is something terribly wrong in Sparks!

Bader · 02-08-2019, 02:09 PM

It’s not authentic until the antique paper authenticator in Sparks says it’s real wasn’t that how we got confirmation on the T206 Wagner that Mars bought

Soxfanguy · 02-08-2019, 02:23 PM

2 Million? The most expensive card EVER (PSA 9 52 Mantle) sold for 2.8 million so he isn't getting that

discostu · 02-08-2019, 02:24 PM

Fortunately they look similar too...maybe I'll need to create one for this kook as well.

Soxfanguy · 02-08-2019, 02:25 PM

Who/what is Jason Mars?

Ball called the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York and told him what he bought. "She told me I want to see that card as fast as you can get it to me. Same thing with every organization that's had the picture sent to them on this card. They've blown it up and looked for certain things on this card, certain marks."

LOL... how is this even a story if you haven't even tried to authenticate it yet? I took it to my buddy and he says it could be real so I won't sell it for less then 2 million dollars. Rent the card to the HOF? hahahahaha gtfoh

"They need to look at it and basically authenticate it. And that's the only way it's gonna be proven that card is real. It's so rare and no one knows anything about it."

Ball may rent the Babe Ruth card to the Hall of Fame but then again. "The only way I would sell this card is for the bidding to start at $2 million because to me I found the Mona Lisa."

Hollywood42 · 02-08-2019, 02:57 PM

Yall are just a bunch of windowlickers, that thing is legit!

discostu · 02-08-2019, 03:01 PM

Let's just be happy that this guy created this silly story instead of claiming his son was trapped in a garbage can for 2 weeks while being fed by a kind racoon family.

We no longer have time to vet crazy...we just run with it.

Where I live a water pipe broke in the local police station the other day. 11 o'clock news had video.

Mighty white card is all I can say.

At first I thought this thread was about Mason Jars.

Come on who else thought that too?

Speaking of Mason Jars...I bought a fake one the other day (internet auction). Fake mold and painted (red) from the inside. Never knew they had fakes of these until I researched. Crazy.

tonedef2oo8 · 02-08-2019, 05:35 PM

Sparks Nevada is where the dolt Mars was from. And he got the stupid mews to report his story also. Hmmm

There is little doubt this is Jason mars or some moron copying his story after reading that, that’s the same crap he said. But his was someone at “eBay”
