LOL, yes that is exactly what we need! But seriously, the petty frauds that go on at a baseball card show should only be the worst thing in our hobby. At a card show, however, the crooks simply don't have a chance to do any more damage than lie every chance they get.
One thing that really made me laugh -- and keep in mind this was my very first card show -- were the fake looks of pain, anger and shock that the dealers would give when you point out their easily proven lies. Like the putz that told me the Orange Borders Tigers team card booked for $2400 and I told him straight out he was lying. You'd think that the dingo had stolen his baby.
