WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:08.880 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM six forty. You want 2 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:17.000 listening to the Bill Handle Show. And good morning everybody. It is a 3 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:21.679 Thursday Solstice, Thursday, Thursday, June twentieth, longest day of the year. 4 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.960 And I think this is the official start of summer. And okay, 5 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.359 the only time I really mattered when I was getting out of school. Remember 6 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.479 it would be third week in June. I would get out of school today. 7 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.880 When did they get out of school? I don't know. February is 8 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.200 when the semester ends, and it starts in January. Who the hell knows? 9 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.640 But I cared, and my kids are out of school. So I 10 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.439 cared when I was a kid. Now, all right, how unusual? 11 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:59.159 Now? Amy reported this in the news and that is LA's latest homeless housing 12 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.599 project has opened up in skid Row. And skid Row, by the way, 13 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.560 it's going to be one of those terms that we're never going to be 14 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:11.760 able to use again because it stigmatizes. It has to be that street which 15 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:17.439 houses many homeless people. I don't know what kind of a name comes up 16 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.719 with it, but I guarantee you come from skid Row, like hitting the 17 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.000 skids, probably probably you know I come up with do I use that line 18 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:33.480 again that I used last hour skid row? Amy says no, no, 19 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.000 Sorry, you have to listen to the Last Hour where I came up with 20 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.079 the origin of the term skid row. Anyway, this is the first of 21 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.400 two high rise buildings are going to make up the Wine Guard Towers, and 22 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.719 the first one is open. Nineteen story two hundred and seventy eight units overlooking 23 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:59.159 downtown, La Cafe, club room, Jim Music, art rooms, computer 24 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:05.480 lab, dog runs, terraces, two hundred and twenty eight studio apartments, 25 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:12.840 fifty one bedroom apartments. Each apartment fully furnished, full kitchen, private bathroom, 26 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:19.599 heating and air conditioning, described as high quality apartment living. And Kevin 27 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.639 Murray, the president's CEO of the Wineguart Center Association, says, this is 28 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.639 not just a building. It's about people, about giving people dignity and respect. 29 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.560 By the way, I agree with that. There is no question this 30 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:37.000 is about taking the homeless and doing something with them. And by the way, 31 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.039 this is where you could call me a socialist on this one. We 32 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.919 have so many homeless in society that I think we have to do something about 33 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:52.199 it. Other countries do I have a real problem with the fact that healthcare 34 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:57.199 and food is not a fundamental right. Okay, housing, I don't know, 35 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.199 but you know, through tax dollars, through tax dollars, we are 36 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:07.680 funding this. It comes to five hundred and sixty five thousand dollars or five 37 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:14.879 hundred and ninety five thousand dollars per unit, six hundred grand for every unit. 38 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.560 Now am I in favor of this? I am still a little bit 39 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:23.639 of math. How many people in La County are considered homeless? Sixty thousand, 40 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.199 okay, how many of them are Let's say forty thousand units are necessary 41 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.439 because summers couple some families, So let's call it forty thousand. What is 42 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:45.280 forty thousand times a six hundred thousand Figure that number out. Yeah, yeah, 43 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.439 it's pretty impressive. And I have said, and here is the flaw 44 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.240 is to deal successfully with homelessness, to make a real dent is going to 45 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:02.120 take every dime of the budget of this county and probably the state to make 46 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.520 this happen. And where do you put this on the burner? Front burner, 47 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.800 okay, back burner, the burner behind that. And I don't know 48 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.040 what I do know if it's going to be incremental couple one hundred, few 49 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.360 hundred units at a time, so forty six years from now will actually make 50 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.519 a real good den unless you take all the money. And how are they 51 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.480 going to get some of the money. Well, guess what. We've got 52 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.000 a ballot measure coming up in November, and we now have a one quarter 53 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.439 cent sales tax in La County to fund affordable housing and homeless services. This 54 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:46.040 ballot measure is going to replace that which expires in twenty twenty seven from a 55 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.800 quarter cent to half a cent. Now that means almost nothing, right, 56 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:57.199 except as these taxes go up a quarter of a cent half a cent. 57 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.319 Guess where we are, boys and girls. We're at what one and a 58 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.199 half percent? One of the most expensive tax, sales tax in the United 59 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:11.959 States, and it's going to go up, much like next month are our 60 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.680 tax on gasoline is going to go up. I'll be announcing that July first, 61 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.040 and no small amount either. Oh, by the way, California taxes 62 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:27.519 on gasoline the most expensive tax in the United States. It used to be 63 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.000 fifty percent premium. Because of the summer blend and all of that. It 64 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.839 is. We used to have a fifty percent premium when it was two bucks. 65 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:40.160 Let's say around the country it was two fifty here. Now it is 66 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:47.040 a dollar fifty to two dollars premium because of the taxes that are being nailed, 67 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.399 and it's going to go up by the way July first, So sales 68 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:56.000 tax, which by the way, is going to pass because Proposition H passed 69 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.480 with a quarter of a cent to deal with the homeless, now is going 70 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.759 to be half a cent, which is going to be permanent because H expires 71 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.240 in twenty twenty seven. And do they have enough signatures? Buy twice? 72 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.720 The coalition of Housing Authority and the mental health sector, those who advocated this, 73 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.680 submitted four hundred and ten thousand signatures to the County Register's office to qualify. 74 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:25.600 Organizers need about two hundred and forty thousand signatures. They've got it. 75 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.480 Are we going to vote it in? Oh? Yes we are. And 76 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.079 that's not to say that we can't deal with the homeless. I mean we 77 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:38.800 have to to some extent. But are we willing to pay these kinds of 78 00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.240 taxes? Yeah? When they go up a quarter of a cent here, 79 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:49.839 half a cent here, it's death of a thousand cuts. And that's particularly 80 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:56.439 important in Chinatown, where I'm not going to do that because that's a reference. 81 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.839 Okay, So anyway, the point is, I agree the homeless should 82 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.439 be sheltered. Do I agree that every dime we have goes to the homeless 83 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:13.680 and that's the only way to make a real dent. Fair enough, Now, 84 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.680 we heard the news about Boeing and the problems it's had with the Max 85 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:24.879 and the Dreamliner and its aircraft. So let's move over to its space division, 86 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:32.759 where there is a Boeing star Liner spacecraft flying to and reaching the space 87 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:41.079 station with two veteran NASA astronauts round trip to the International Space Station and back 88 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:46.600 it goes. So now the two veteran astronauts have been invited to stay longer 89 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.439 at the space station because the inhabitants like them. And oh yeah, by 90 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:56.160 the way, there is a real problem with the spacecraft. They have to 91 00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:01.920 straighten out before the astronauts get back and come on home. And so there's 92 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.680 staying aboard the space station for a second time while engineers on the ground scrambling 93 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:13.399 to learn what happened on the journey up because there was there were some problems 94 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:20.480 troubles the spacecraft experience on its way to the iss, including helium leaks and 95 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.399 thrusters that abruptly stop working, and all kinds of questions had been raised about 96 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.320 how the back half of the mission is going to work out. The first 97 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.080 half of the mission went fine except for the helium leaks and the thrusters that 98 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.240 don't work. And it's a little issue. Now Is that big a deal? 99 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.960 Not really, because, as you can imagine, every news outlet reporting 100 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.720 this went to their go to experts, former astronauts, engineers, etc. 101 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:58.759 And they said, this is a small deal. It's not considered life threatening 102 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:05.679 in any way because that part of the spacecraft in which the thrusters didn't work 103 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:11.559 so well, and the helium leaks weren't even expected to and designed to come 104 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.960 back to Earth. They were going to go into the atmosphere and burn up. 105 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.159 It just wasn't part of the plan. So problems with that did not 106 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.919 create any danger to the astronauts. But it does prove that there's some real 107 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.000 problems with this and now the astronauts are going to return no earlier than June 108 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.279 twenty six. And I love this. This is pr from Boeing. It's 109 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:46.799 describing the mission as a success and a learning opportunity. Now, Elon Musk 110 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:54.279 who started with his spacecraft, he had a learning opportunity three times as it 111 00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:01.080 blew up three times. And it really was a learning op opportunity for real. 112 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.960 I mean there's no question about it. I think it blew up twice 113 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.480 and on his third go round it succeeded. Let me tell you, let's 114 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.840 go back a few years, and that is what year with that. It 115 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:22.320 started twenty fourteen and NASA tapped both Boeing and SpaceX to develop spacecraft capable of 116 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.799 carrying astronauts to the ISS, the International Station space Station. Boeing was the 117 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.360 leader. By the way, everybody expected Boeing to be first up because SpaceX 118 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:43.759 was creating this technology of returnable spacecraft WELLX crew Dragon spacecraft. The Dragon safely 119 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:52.200 completed the first mission in twenty twenty. We're four years out and Boeing just 120 00:10:52.399 --> 00:11:01.399 launched its first spacecraft to the ISS. SpaceX has been doing this for years, 121 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.080 and so the perception that Boeing was way ahead of the game as opposed 122 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:13.000 to this upstart SpaceX. Of course, that's reversed completely and the star Liner, 123 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:22.159 the Boeing craft, has been faced with setbacks and mar Well marred was 124 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.879 setbacks and problems every step of the way, years of delays, added expense. 125 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.080 I mean, it just is not gone well. The first test mission 126 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.679 in twenty nineteen with a star Liner just made no sense. It had so 127 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:48.360 many problems. So now twenty twenty is the second uncrewed flight test additional problems. 128 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.320 This is Boeing. Now it is being pointed out by the people at 129 00:11:52.360 --> 00:12:00.559 Boeing that the spacecraft, the space program of Boeing is totally separate from the 130 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:07.639 aircraft manufacturing division. It's really two different companies. So you can't really conflate 131 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:16.360 the two except the ownership happens to be Boeing. And you know, so 132 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.799 let me ask you this. Let's say you're going to pay for a ride 133 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.799 to the ISS. Are you going to look at the max Starliner? Probably 134 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:33.320 not. SpaceX now has eighty percent of the world market both for government including 135 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:41.559 NASA and other governments and private customers. Private customers meaning throwing up satellites for 136 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:48.840 communications for various scientific programs, you know, looking at the Earth and weather 137 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:56.000 forecasting, et cetera. And SpaceX and Elon Musk visionary that he is crazy, 138 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:01.279 but visionary that he is also has a Star Link satellite system which gives 139 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.720 the entire world access to the Internet. He went in a different direction. 140 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.600 Boy, that he do well with that. Now, we did a story 141 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.120 last week about Legos. A thief broke in and I think it were six 142 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:22.679 Lego stores in southern California that were broken into and a bunch of Legos were 143 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:28.399 stolen. You go, come on, Legos, Well, let me tell 144 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.519 you what legos are about. First of all, he stuffed the garbage bag 145 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.799 with about ten thousand dollars worth of figures at one store to a waiting car 146 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.200 and speeding off. Now, come on, Legos. You know there are 147 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.000 billions and billions of Lego pieces out there. But let me explain what happened 148 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:54.879 with legos. Okay, the COVID nineteen pandemic, turbocharge, Lego collecting hobby 149 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:03.279 and home bound collectors blitzing online resellers in search of coveted items, driving up 150 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.600 prices, attracting criminals. So how did legos be come from these little blocks 151 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:15.440 into collectibles. Well, it's not the building of them. It's not the 152 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.399 Eiffel Tower built out of legos, or the White House built out of legos 153 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.519 and the giant dinosaurs. What it is are these limit little figures, these 154 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:31.840 tiny little figures, characters. They're about one point five inch, they're figurines, 155 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.120 and they're known as minifigs. And Neil, you've talked about minifigs in 156 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:43.200 cooking, where you take these very small figs and they're wonderful. They're minifigs 157 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:50.320 and those can trade for now upward of one thousand dollars each. And there's 158 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.960 a story there because one owner of the store, and let me tell you 159 00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.240 about the stores bricks and minifigs, for example, franchise chain or the one 160 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:07.679 hundred location around the country. They don't sell individual little pieces. What they 161 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:13.559 sell are sets, expensive sets and figurines that are no longer in production. 162 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:20.120 And those are the ones that have exploded. And man, what a story 163 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:26.080 that is, because these little tiny figurines which you can put in your pocket 164 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.840 are getting more valuable by the minute. One of the owners of the stores, 165 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.919 woman named Katie Leuscher or Lesher, who owns a store and Wittier, 166 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:43.000 says, you can't steal in nineteen sixties mustang and hide that, but you 167 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.320 sure as hell can hide a mini figure and stockpile them for years. And 168 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.799 they're going up in value. And here's a case in point. I saw 169 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:58.720 a documentary finished it yesterday about collectibles sports collectibles, and it's about Golden, 170 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.000 which is a company that this guy, Ken Golden created and he sells memorabilia. 171 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:10.720 Started with sports memorabilia and now he's into everything and does massive tens of 172 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.720 millions, hundreds of millions of dollars of business. And so one of the 173 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.840 collectibles that he talks about and you actually see it and is owned by the 174 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:27.399 owner of the Diamondbacks, the Arizona Diavabacks is the best Honus Wagner baseball card 175 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:33.960 in existence. There are only two hundred and six that were even printed. 176 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:40.440 This is back in the late eighteen eighteen nineties when he was still you know, 177 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:45.320 professional baseball was still there. Now these cards were printed by tobacco companies. 178 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:49.159 On the back with the tobacco company logo card and on the front was 179 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.279 the baseball player. Well, this guy was a teetotaler and a non smoker, 180 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:57.720 and he went out of his mind and he told the company, pull 181 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.039 the advertise, pull the cards. Well, two hundred and six were released, 182 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:08.720 maybe there's a dozen left out there. And then they're graded by the 183 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:15.759 condition, and this one is the most expensive or the best conditioned Honus Wagner 184 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:21.920 card in existence. I'm referring to the value of things going up and collectibles. 185 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.319 It's known as the Gretzki card because Wayne Gretzky, the great hockey player 186 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.920 in nineteen ninety two, paid four hundred and fifty one thousand dollars for the 187 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:38.400 card, which was considered astronomical money. Why would you do that, Well, 188 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.759 the owner of the Diamondbacks, I don't know how many years ago, 189 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:48.200 paid two point eight million dollars for the same card, and today it is 190 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:55.839 valued by Ken Golden at fifty million dollars for a baseball card. The val 191 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.960 look at the amount of money you pay for a Kobe Bryant jersey or Mike 192 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:06.039 Jordan pair of sneakers in the millions of dollars a pair of you sneakers. 193 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:14.440 Amy did this story last week about thieves breaking into Lego stores and stealing these 194 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.440 little figurines like one hundred thousand dollars worth. You to go, come on, 195 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.319 well, it's a collectible, and it's a collectible that's going up in 196 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.319 value by the day, because that's what these collectibles are doing. Boy what 197 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:32.200 an investment. Now, these are not Lego blocks. These are little figurines 198 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:37.559 that are being manufactured, and that is the secret here. They're known as 199 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:45.720 minifigs, small figurines, and they are well, I mean, it's incredible. 200 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.319 Here's the difference though, and why these are worth more and more. 201 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:56.640 This is kind of a manufactured rarity companies send out or what they do is 202 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.759 manufacturing small number and they tell them for a pretty good price, and they're 203 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:07.160 rare. Versus what I said, the Honus Wagner card was not a manufactured 204 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:15.440 rarity for the purpose of making it a rarity. The Michael Jordan tennis shoes 205 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.400 use his sneakers used in a championship game, which goes for over two million 206 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:26.079 dollars or did that was not quote a manufactured product. However, the line 207 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:33.240 of Michael Jordan is manufactured and Nike keeps it very limited numbers of this model. 208 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:38.480 Immediately they're worth a pile of money. Legos was about to go broke 209 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.920 in the nineties and then somewhere with the company figured out it's not those blocks, 210 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:55.079 it's these little figures connected to Star Wars, Jurassic Park, connected to 211 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:03.319 movies and story. Harry Potter is one and the rare ones are worth the 212 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.680 fortune, and sometimes they manufacture only a few of them. As I talked 213 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.400 about that documentary on Netflix that's on that's well worth it about collectibles and the 214 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.640 value. There's one guy for I don't know how many millions of dollars one 215 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:22.359 little figurine. One little figurine, a Star Wars figurine. There are only 216 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.920 three in existence because this was a prototype of a figure that was never made. 217 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.480 There's only three that exists. And it's worth north, wasn't it. 218 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:38.680 I think it was worth more than a million bucks. I mean it is 219 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:42.799 crazy. As I said earlier, and Neil nodded on this one. A 220 00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:49.720 Pokemon card worth a million dollars. Jerseys that are worth the people have bought 221 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:56.759 for tens of thousands, Jackie Robinson jersey Babe Ruth jerseys that are game used 222 00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:02.000 where they can prove it was used in a championship game. Just crazy prices. 223 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:07.400 And that's what brought Lego into a company that now does over nine billion 224 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:15.000 dollars a year, grew by fifty percent over the last five years. And 225 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.720 I'll tell you, and I'm going to repeat what I said, because this 226 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:26.880 is a story that's almost incomprehensible. The famous Gretzky Honus Wagner card baseball card. 227 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.920 Only two hundred were ever actually printed, very rare. Maybe it doesn't 228 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.160 exist. There's one in the best quality you could imagine. He paid for 229 00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.279 it in the nineties four hundred and fifty one thousand dollars in people, you're 230 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.039 out of your mind. The guy who owns it now, who owns the 231 00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:47.440 Arizona Diamondbacks, paid two point eight million dollars for it, maybe ten twelve 232 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.359 years ago. It has now been assessed by Ken Golden, the guy who 233 00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:56.279 owns the company that sells this stuff, at over fifty million dollars for one 234 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:03.400 baseball card. It is the holy Grail of collectibles. Nothing like it in 235 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:12.559 the world. Just insanity. Babe Ruth Baseball's crazy Babe Ruth jerseys Jackie Robinson 236 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:18.480 jersey that was used during his first year in baseball, where he still has 237 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:26.519 bloodstains on it for when he cut himself shaving. The guy turned down seven 238 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:32.160 and a half million dollars, turned it down. Who owns it? All 239 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:37.240 right? We're done with that.
