Default Need advice

Okay, I made a stupid deal at a card show last weekend. I have two choices, ask the other guy if he'll rescind or just suck it up and not deal with the guy again.

Details: I gave a guy, who regularly buys cards from me and who I thought was honest, a '66 Philadelphia Sayers rookie, a '64 Philadelphia Ditka and Jurgensen. The cards were VG. In return I received a '56 Topps Aparicio rookie and $30 cash. The Aparicio was in a thick screwdown and I couldn't see a major crease and thought the card was VG. I didn't see the crease until I got home and took it out of the screwdown.

The guy knew the crease was there and didn't say a thing. I always tell him when a card has a crease. I always give him great prices on cards. I feel cheated.

Any advice?

Well, you should feel cheated, because you WERE cheated. Don't kick yourself in the butt too much for the "stupid" part of it. You trusted the guy because he's a regular. Amazing that a person who deals regularly with you would want to put one over on you (not that anyone should ever do this, but it happens). I think you should definitely confront him about it, and not just ignore it -- you know you're going to see him again at some point. You'll probably feel better that way, even if he denies the crease was there originally. Maybe give him a chance to amend his bad deed. The guy has more to lose if you and other dealers refuse to cut him any slack in future deals.

Thanks Paul. I'm going to try and track him down this weekend and give him back the creased card.
