Yesterday we said a Christmas card signed by alpha-generator extraordinaire Ralph Cioffi was the best item being auctioned off on eBay. Like Goldman Sachs, which self-flagellated Monday over a May 5 recommendation for investors to add to U.S. financial and consumer stocks, we just want to tell you how clearly, deeply, almost catastrophically wrong we were. The BEST item up for grabs, which we will have no qualms fighting dirty for, is a sealed deck of limited edition Bear Stearns playing cards, commemorating Ace Greenberg’s March 8, 1999 50th anniversary, bearing his face and a money shot of the trademark bowtie.

    Have you ever tried to get tickets to “The Antiques Roadshow”. Jesus, it’s like trying to get Rolling Stones tickets with all the online lottery bullshit. Then you get to go and find out via one of the Keno brothers your fucking Connecticut River “Highboy” that’s never been refinished and still has the label on it is a fucking fake made in China!

    Well, paint me red, stick me in a PO strip of a CMO and call me Jimmy. I can’t believe those cards are real.
