I am speechless. It is bad enough the card companies are obliterating autographs on those idiotic autograph chase cards (sorry if I insulted anyone on the board, but paying highly inflated prices for cut autographs which have been damaged by the card companies makes no sense to me), but this is just awful.

I was just looking at that! He's asking $2,500 for a $250 piece... ridiculous.

There is another generic Bum figurine out there (similar to a Hummel) that's always touted as a 1955 Brooklyn Bum Statue. It usually sells for about $15.00, but I've seen it go over $200 when the description is enhanced as such. Lots of unethical sellers around these days, I'm afraid...

I think describing some of these guys as unethical is being way too kind.

OK, forget unethical.

I guess "delusional" would be giving them the benefit of the doubt.

How about "evil" or "criminal"?

How does this guy not think this is a forgery? Since when is it okay to forge something, announce that it's "art" and then think that's okay? What do you make of the rest of his inventory (he has a few Mantles) and can this item (any of his items) be reported?

Regards,
Larry
