I thought about just quoting #4, but here's another way to make the same point.
It is safe to buy:
- Cards that you are never going to sell (provided that you don't care if you might have trimmed cards in your PC)
- Cards that are worth a sufficiently small amount of money (relative to your total budget) that if you take a bath once it's discovered that they're trimmed, you don't really care about the money that you would lose selling them
If, one way or another, you see card collecting as simple consumption - like going to the movies or eating at a restaurant - then the current scandal isn't going to bother you much.
