Default To be clear

To be clear, I'm not trying to attack this channel, I think they are good people. But a thumbnail that says "These are all fake!" and things like that should be corrected. I also think the seller of these cards could have been hurt by their attempt to be experts when clearly they are not on pre-war cards, as he could've just "thrown them in" the deal to the next person based on this bad /incomplete information.

I would also note that hobbyist's that have come in the last few years in many cases are too reliant on graded cards and have never actually physically handled many cards raw form, which is a travesty. They need someone to "authenticate" it for them (not necessarily these guys but I think the overreliance on TPG's have made collector's "lazy" in terms of doing their own research, etc.)

Note: This channel also used a very bad method to crack a 52 Mantle which could've destroyed the card, see previous episode.
