Condition is one of the primariy reasons, mainly because of the story and who held the ticket. It wasn't held by a collector per se. The idea that this thing was placed directly into a case and put in a safe for 20 years is not believable to me.
That coupled with the info Scott has provided and other examples I have come across in the past...it just doesn't add up.
Sometimes you need to go with your gut and my gut is telling me no.
I would love to believe it's real and would love to see it be real, I just can't believe it.
