I'm not buying it. All the usual indicia are there:

--An 'expert' who isn't one of the recognized TPGs that everyone in the hobby uses. Why drive it to Beverly Hills rather than Fed-Exing it to Newport Beach?

--It is always presented to some credulous local tv personality who dutifully reports whatever the card owner spews

--The owner's tearful invocation of the Lord.

--A local 'expert' for context even though he clearly isn't an expert in the specific issue or set in question, and who adds squat to the actual information but does supply the necessary financial wow factor.

Two years from now this guy is still going to be parading this raw card around trying to get someone to fork over a five figure purchase price, but no way will it ever see the inside of a TPG or a qualified AH that would send it to a TPG if it was genuine.
