What a ridiculous conversation. He says it was appraised at $990. In reality, it's either a $25 item (when properly disclosed as a reprint) or a $15,000 item (if improperly sold as authentic). In no world, is it worth $990.
Believe it or not, Stall & Dean is still around. They sell what they call their "Memorabilia Collection". Below is a link.... if you scroll down, you'll see they are selling used/beaten-up vintage S&D Uniforms for multi-thousands of dollars...
$25,000.00 for items that routinely sell (on eBay and elsewhere) for under $200, yet are identical.
