I am not a dealer and sell occasionally on ebay and buy off and on. I messed up and paid way too much for this card from a guy who told me they were authentic. I talked off and on with him for over a month, did not make an impulse purchase and he didn’t badger me to buy. But as I said I can not tell the difference between a fake and real. Every reprint I saw is printed reprint, so I majorly screwed up. I cannot believe people out there cannot understand that a non dealer can easily be fooled and that it is not necessarily a scammer reselling a card like this."

I never called him a scammer btw, I just informed him his cards weren't originals. Oh well...
I think this happens a lot.....I can't say how many times someone will tell me that x number of dealers and local card shop owners tell them something is authentic, when it isn't. It's even happened on this board occasionally (with new people coming on, usually).
