Collector opens trading cards on a plane's wing for record

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA British collector opened seven packs of basketball cards in one minute while strapped to the wing of a flying plane, and Guinness has certified it, UPI reports.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSeven packs. The minimum to qualify was six, so the record rests on one spare pack of cards.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call that a record with a safety margin, Dale. Colby Bull did it on a 1940s Boeing Stearman biplane, six hundred feet up.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWinds of about one hundred twenty miles per hour, and he lost no cards. I'll admit that's, well, not terrible.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNot terrible! Did you hear that? Dale said not terrible!

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI said nothing of the sort.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd he went up again the same day, opening cards reportedly worth over ten thousand dollars, including a Mike Trout with an autograph and a patch.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOnly five exist.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the theory is he wanted the card to feel the wind. A Mike Trout autograph patch at altitude is simply a premium unboxing experience.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy theory is the biplane was the cheapest part. He's also swum to Alcatraz and back and crossed Lapland by sleigh. This man collects hazards.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe said people must think he's a lunatic for doing it. I'd say that's an audience that's not yet seen the sleigh.
