I can at least appreciate that the current bid ends in "01"

OK, I'll comment.
"As the story goes"? That's how you begin a story you're not quite sure about. Couldn't Rich Fields have been a little more direct (and even a little more personal) about the microphone owned by Rich Fields that Rich Fields is selling? This third-person description gives off a weird vibe.

When Barker's mid-90s mic went up for sale, it came with a handwritten note from Barker as provenance. All this mic comes with is Rich Fields' third-person say-so, as Matt has already pointed out.
I wonder how many ECM-51s Barker burned through in twenty years, and what the likelihood is that he would have kept one of them anyway. They were probably the property of CBS or of Television City, were they not?
colonial:
The description reads like it was written by someone learning English through Duolingo. For someone trying to explain the microphone in a personal, heartfelt matter, you would think the message would be, well, personal and heartfelt.
As the peanut gallery has already mentioned, I need far more evidence that this is genuine outside of "Rich Fields says so."

I'm sure Rich is hard up for cash after being fired after making racist comments on-air in Tampa.
