Artificially Aged Reprints Terrorize Arizona

Also, I agree with the original poster. What a terrible, lazy and shoddy reporting job by this TV station. Sadly, this is indicative of most television news reporting these days.

Did the reporters contact a single hobby expert before running an absurd story like this? No, they just report as fact that the boy has a fortune in cards, when in reality he has a bunch of reprints made to look old and popped into cheap, fake holders. It's actually a sad story about an innocent boy who was conned out of $150 by the lowest scum of the Earth.

Do the reporters at this station honestly believe a kid with $150 was able to buy the Top 5 rarest cards in history? Clearly the story doesn't add up at all -and yet there are zero follow-up questions. The reporters were conned just as easily with this story as the young boy was out of his $150. Pathetic.

The kid mentioned he had three days to get a refund (which sounds like something out of eBay). "If" in fact he purchased the cards on eBay, Kenneth actually has 45 days to return them. Of course, if the cards came from Craiglist, then forget about it.....
