He said they were priced right for quick sale , cash only and anyone that tried to inspect them too closely or asked too many questions he was on to the next potential buyer...and there were PLENTY !!! He sold them all in about 15 minutes and was gone. When finally the excitement wore off someone opened one and guess what ??? color copies all

I think one of those checks ended up on "Pawn Stars" the other night. A Ruth check in a frame that looked suspicious and had an equally suspicious authentication letter that looked like a laser copy.
