Leon- I realize it's debatable but if a guy is lying repeatedly in his description he not a really trustworthy seller. Then again, if you win the photo and he delivers it I guess I agree with you.

But this silly story is designed to get more money for the item than it's really worth, so it's dubious.

What if in my next auction somebody consigned to me a 1933 Goudey Ruth, and my description read: "the consignor claims this card was Ruth's personal copy, who gave it to his father and it has been in his family ever since." How would that fly?
