Ripped
I remember this one time at a local store in Elk Grove. I used to go to this store because there were pretty good prices and I was just getting back into card collecting. I noticed this gorgeous Patrick Ewing STAR RC which was priced around $100 I saved up and bought it.
Anyways, a couple weeks later as I am going through my newly acquired cards and marveling over their timeless essence and reliving childhood dreams, I come across my Ewing RC and notice on the back it says in tiny print that it is a reprint. I mean I thought I was pretty good at checking for these things and could have sworn that I had checked the card when I bough it but sure enough it was a reprint.
So, I go to the card shop pissed and tell the guys the situation and that I wanted a refund. It was awkward but I got it. I never went back again and soon after focused primarily on Ebay and graded material.
