So...is he full of chit? Because that card looks mighty clean to be authentic. What do you guys think?

I keep all of my multi-million $ cards in 4-screw holders.

The card has value in a card collection of fine reprints.

My guess of the value is $2 retail.

The latest news is the card owner sent the card to Fred's Authentication Kard Enterprises where it received a 10.

I am hoping it is real. What a find that would be! I am happy when the hobby gets some good main stream publicity. I heard about the story from my father-in-law who knows little about cards.
