This whole thread has been mass insanity. There are a ton of things I know nothing about, including whether certain Cracker Jack cards are real. But I do know that it's best to trust an expert, as long as that person has no ulterior motive. Yet here, people seem to think it's better to trust their own uninformed eyes and other random posters, based on volume alone.

I'm not trying to congratulate the guy who won, especially because I think a little graciousness is important. But I do wonder how many people will continue to insist that the opinions of 20 people who know little are better than the opinion of one person who knows a lot.

Was it Jerry Vale who sang "You don't know me." ? Calling me a 'clown' is not an insult. As I said, enjoy your authentic Cracker Jack baseball card, young man.

Very interesting perspective.

Just for the public record, today I mailed a check for $130 to Toe Moss Man.
