if his uncle was still alive then, maybe he was selling it for his uncle.
Maybe. Right now all we have is what Eddie is relaying to us. Eddie seems confident that he's talking to the actual seller, so I'll go with that for now:
So far
Seller of the patch
Lockheedskunk117 says,
The patch was in uncles.
He sold it because he was strapped for cash.
He sold it with a MJ Autographed Chicago Bulls Ticket Stub
He regrets selling it
It was not sold to Ross Coulthart
It was sold to a eBay user from Nevada
Ross never had the patch, Lockheedskunk117 simply shared the image & Story with Ross
Ross called Lockheedskunk last night, Wanted to know why people think its a MAP Weather patch
He assured Ross it was the real deal, from his Uncle and not a MAP patch
Sounds like he, "lockheedskunk117", sold it because he needed cash. What I don't get, is why "leak" it to Coulthart after you already sold it? Especially if you needed money. He was never going to get close to million dollars for it, but it would have made sense to hype it up first behind the scenes, then sell it with peek interest in it, right?
And maybe I'm wrong on the million dollar price tag. My kids informed me that some of their Magic: The Gathering cards are worth quite a bit, with certain ones that attracted the attention of interested people with stupid amounts of money to shell out:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/new...athering-card-valued-at-2-million/ar-AA1eHVPXjust over a month after the discovery of an ultra-rare Magic the Gathering trading card depicting the famous “One Ring” from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings series, the one-off card was purchased by none other than rapper Post Malone, after receiving offers from collectors worldwide at more than $2 million.
No, my kids don't have any cards with that kind of value, if they did 'ol dad's in for a cut.
