Now just hold on a minute here, Kurt. I confess that I may be the ORIGINAL skeptic, but... that blue blob in the first part of the video could have been anything... it could have even been a UFO. The video is out of focus and grainy. It's difficult to tell scale when there's so little in the frame for reference. How do we know it's REALLY a push-pin?
About the pedigree of the push-pin... obviously you're tying to hype the pin to increase it's value... and it may, if the history is accurate, be valuable as an artifact dating to 1992. However, lacking evidence of carbon-dating or other documented history, how can I be sure that THIS push-pin is the genuine article, and not a cleverly disguised modern fake?
Merely that you claim it to be a push-pin, and that this alleged push-pin is in fact the push-pin you claim it to be doesn't make it so.
I want to see some authentication from some leading experts in the field of push-pin archeology. I'd advise all of you (except, of course, that nice fellow from Nigeria) to steer clear of throwing money at this transaction until it can be thoroughly studied.
