I suppose it's real. I wouldn't really throw down 80 bucks for a 30 something year old yearbook simply because there is a picture of a 14 year old Cliff in it.

I don't think it's worth that much. If it were signed by Cliff, then that would be a completely different story. Then it would be worth much, much more than $80.

I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of making a quick $80.

Then you'd be 99.9875% stupid. (79.99/80)*100

Whereas the rest of us would be Gods with 0% stupidity.
