Transcript

00:00Are you Mrs. Costa?

00:01Yes.

00:01Could you step up, please?

00:03Sure.

00:06You, sir, had been collecting baseball cards and football cards since you were a child.

00:12Yes.

00:14And you took his baseball cards and sold them to the defendant, who has a store.

00:20Correct.

00:21You want the cards back.

00:22Yes.

00:24So you're an important part of this case, Mrs. Costa.

00:27Now, I assume from my reading of these papers that you and your husband had discussed selling the baseball cards.

00:36Is that right?

00:37We had discussed going to this, just going somewhere and finding out their value.

00:42The garage had flooded, and I was thinking, well, if they're just going to get molded or ruined in the garage,

00:49maybe we should see if they're worth anything.

00:52So you had a discussion with your husband?

00:54Yes.

00:54We brought them into the house.

00:55And tell me about the discussion that you had with your husband.

00:59That was about the extent of it.

01:00And I went to the shopping center that we frequent all the time.

01:04I've been in the defendant's store a couple times.

01:07I told him I might bring him by.

01:09I bought a Nebraska football, a couple baseball hats.

01:15Just felt familiar with it.

01:17Asked him if he would look at the cards.

01:18He agreed.

01:19And you were discussed with your husband, the fact that you were going to take them in to have him look at the cards.

01:24I mentioned it.

01:26And what did your husband say to you?

01:29I don't remember anything in particular that he said to me.

01:32He didn't say, don't sell them or anything.

01:37It would seem to me that if two people were having a discussion about baseball cards,

01:43an extensive collection of baseball cards, that you, sir, would have had some indication of their value.

01:51Is that right?

01:52Yes, Your Honor.

01:53And it would also seem to me, logically, that you would have shared that with your wife.

01:59Yes, Your Honor.

02:00So, what did you tell her that you thought the cards were worth?

02:04We didn't discuss the value of the cards.

02:07The cards had never been appraised.

02:09And when your wife told you that she was going to take them in,

02:11are you trying to tell me, sir, that you didn't tell your wife,

02:14I think that this is what the cards are worth?

02:17No, she's only going to show them.

02:19And I knew there were valuable cards.

02:21There was a misunderstanding.

02:22And I didn't have intention to sell them when I went in that day.

02:25I wanted to see what they were worth.

02:27By the time I left his store, I went in, he thumbed through them real quick,

02:33showed me all the little deformities, oh, the corner's bent, et cetera, et cetera,

02:38said there's not really anything of a lot of value here.

02:42There's some bulk value.

02:43I'll give you a couple hundred.

02:44I paused.

02:44He said, how about 300?

02:46I tried to call my husband from the store, and I got his voicemail at work.

02:51I had a conversation with his wife.

02:53His wife is there while this was happening.

02:54And I said, well, we've been in your store before.

02:58I said, is this about the same that somebody's going to give me down the street?

03:01Because I thought if they're worth a lot, like $1,000, $1,500, I would take them some,

03:05you know, a couple places.

03:07The minute I walked in the door when I got home, my husband called.

03:09I said, I sold your cards.

03:12And he flipped out.

03:13He said, what?

03:14I can't believe it.

03:15He didn't even want to know how much I sold them for.

03:17And he went over there within the hour and...

03:22You mean within the hour of you selling the cards to him?

03:25Yes.

03:25They still had them out on the counter when my husband went back into the store.

03:29Okay.

03:30Mr. Levine, up until this point, nobody is faulting you.

03:35And I wouldn't even fault you subsequently.

03:39Because you had somebody who came in who had what we call in the legal business

03:44apparent authority to sell those cards.

03:47Right?

03:49You had the cards.

03:50You had gone in a couple of days before.

03:52You were the one who said, I want to bring some cards in for you to see.

03:55You didn't say that these are my husband's cards.

03:58I don't have the right...

03:58No, I told them that they were my husband's cards.

04:00Did she tell you they were my husband's cards?

04:02I believe she did tell me.

04:03Well, did you?

04:04Oh, she did.

04:05That's an important piece.

04:06So, Mr. Levine, at that point, sir, that puts you on notice.

04:14And it puts you on notice that she may not have the authority to sell those cards.
