Appreciate the honesty — and I get it.
You’re right: the era of “stonks and fakes” does shift the burden. That’s why I’m not asking anyone to believe anything yet. Just documenting carefully in case it turns out to be real.
I’m not the OP — I’m @KingCharizard on TikTok. I acquired the majority of these items and have been doing this quietly until recently. I’ve donated full sheets to the National Videogame Museum and The Strong Museum, and CGC has a few cards right now for review. If they give the green light, the plan is to auction a sheet for Make-A-Wish foundation.
I’ve also done some testing privately and with university help, but I agree: none of that matters until someone like CGC gives it weight. Until then, I’m not here to argue — just trying to move carefully and respectfully through it.
