Can't say all are fake, but yes I own zero memorabilia autos for a reason. It seems easier for them to forge on memo stuff for some reason. Well probably because the entire authentication process is based on stickers lmao

This will obviously be a big deal, but also don't take the words of a guy on the way out at face value. His whole admission was boiled in being proud of what he's done. There's bound to be some heavy exaggeration of his self-reported statistics.

$350mil is small compared to what's going on with the card side of the hobby
