Dan Mathewson...I don't disagree that "a fool and his money are soon parted."
I just feel that:
1) For the novice, we all make mistakes when we first come out there. I did, we all did. That doesn't make them an idiot who deserves to be screwed by these jerks.
2) By them flooding the vintage card market with crap, counterfeits, and intentionally mislabeled cards, it hurts all of us to some degree, like it or not. I don't believe in keeping quiet about it. Pretty soon, so much garbage will be out there that potential buyers have much lesser trust of anyone selling a vintage item. And, that isn't good.
3) Don't get me wrong. I sell almost none of my stuff, and I'd never by a damm thing from these shysters. But, hey...I see new names on this board every month, sometimes weekly. When new crap comes up from Roy Huff and his ilk, I think it's ok to talk about it. I don't think everyone new to this board goes back and reads every thread...
