To follow up with what Rob just wrote, this line also is particularly ridiculous (and legally incorrect). So if a fraudster tries to sell you, let's say, a fake Mickey Cochrane game worn jersey, and if you can't discern that it's a fake, only you are at fault? You can't blame the criminal who just tried to steal your money? No wonder our hobby is rife with criminals -- the victims refuse to blame the very people who are defrauding them!
