1969 Z28 on BaT TRIM TAG MESS

[RikerZ28]

My earlier question is sort of based on Jimmy_P's reply  (at BAT, not here) stating how "the numbers mafia derailed the sellers auction."  The use of the words mafia and derailed implies to me that Jimmy_P assigns ill-intent and pedantry-driven sabotage to the various commenters casting shade on the seller's claims of a real Z/28.  So, my earlier question above in this thread is sort of based on that inevitable outcome.

I like the other response better than Jimmy_P's, though, that reads:  Doesn't "real" just mean an assembly line worker added the parts, instead of someone else down the road?

Um, yeah, I suppose you could dumb down real like that.  A "real" Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card just means that an assembly line worker stamped out that card in 1951 instead of someone else doing that down the road at some point ... and one of those things is worth about $0.05 and the other recently sold for $12.6MM.

Well jimmy p has over 900 comments, 3900 likes, and not one bid, ever.
