Daniel Boone: Pioneer, time traveler

This cracks me up to no end. Even funnier is that somebody's actually put a bid on it! Our good buddies in Souderton really outdid themselves with this one.

FREE Joe Jackson single-signed OAL Budig ball to anyone who can guess what's wrong with it!!

Uh - I'll stab at it...

Is it the typed print below the inscription of 1789? or is that 1489? Now I'm confused...:(

That's got to be 1781, which would make more sense.

Definitely looks like a "4" to me. According to CC's own description: "It is a great example, signed in ink on a 2x4 paper piece and dated from 1481." Which means Boone "signed" it over 250 years before his own birth!

In grammar school, they taught us a rhyme...

'In fourteen hundred and eighty-nine, Boone came to Coach to sign.'

...or was that the one about Columbus? Aw, heck, whatever...

You know, this could lead to a whole new world of learning for our poor disavantaged tots. The Coach could emulate the legendary Bill and Ted, bringing legendary historical figures to meet their class in-person! Imagine the endless possibilities!

Thank you Coach for bringing hope to the children of our great nation.

Has to be a 7, Boone was borned in 1734. Doesn't mean it is or isn't legit of course.

Is coach's corner part of the Mafia? Mike O'Keefe should publish a book&record set about this operation. I had my eye on that 2$ bill signed by Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth. However, they have a real Bob Feller for sale.

C'mon...SCD...pull the plug!
