The guy who sold them to him says that he will get his $3.5 million back, even though he won't make a profit.
Bolillo Lajan San said that he had reimbursed him.
We will see how quickly I am made whole from the sellers who brought it to me, or if it turns into a drawn-out scenario.
Wowzers.
The set of first edition Pokémon cards was found to be a big, fat fake by the man who paid $3.5 million for it.
The experts were skeptical about the authenticity of the cards inside the box.
Paul and his friend Bolillo Lajan San met with the Baseball Card Exchange in Chicago in hopes of proving that their purchase was a good investment, but instead they got some bad news.
Paul and the gang realized that they'd been tricked when they opened the box.
The first box was opened by Paul. "G.I. Joe?" G.I. Joe? It could have been anything else.
One of the authenticators said it was the biggest fraud in the history of the game.
Had the cards been real, Paul could have made a lot of money on what was inside the box.
"I'm a positive person, bro," he said. I will always be the one to look at the bright side, but this is very hard.
Paul still has a first edition "Shadowless" Charizard card, which he claims is now worth more than a million dollars, as well as 5 other packs of first edition Pokémon cards.
How many fraudulent things are out there? I'm thankful for the things I have. I'm imagining my Charizard in my head, something real, something worth a lot of money.
"We were f*ed." End of story.
