My CV of being ripped off as far as I can remember:
c1982 was sold fake mayo cut plug lave cross at a card show in NJ...As a 14 yo I didn't know the backs should be black! I ate the loss.
1989 was sold a fake fro joy uncut sheet at the LCS at college in newark, DE. I ate the loss.
early 90's bought a 71 thurman munson card at a show in nj area...later discovered the corners had been filled in with marker. I still have it.
EBAY
bought a fake T3...which in person was pathetic...a photocopy glued to a rigid backing. I ate the loss.
bought some fake playballs(reprints) off ebay...was refunded.
Net54 BST
Bought a 33 WWG Ruth card from a supposed mexican cartel associate/member? Card turned out to be real.
Recently was almost ripped off from a card wanted thread...got refunded.
Not too terrible for 40+ years in the hobby.
