I've told these stories before
But they are applicable to this thread
1) Back in the day, a friend of mine would bring a big box or two to one of my LCS. My friend who owned the store always gave me a shot to take the box home and go through them or do them at the store for a very reasonable price point. Pulled about 5 Fergie Jenkins RC's (they were probably $5-10 each at the time) and thought that was good for each of us. There were another 115 of those Jenkins RC's in that box. We told the dealer who was in town to visit his folks and he let us keep like 5 each and we gladly gave him back over 100 Jenkins RC's
2) At the 2019 NSCC one of my friends had a 68 Topps White Letter Mike McCormick in his $1 bin. I went back and forth with self-discussion before telling him. We ended up sending the card to PSA and split the proceeds.
Doing the right thing, especially with friends, pays off not only in the short term but in the long term as well. Now if either of those people were schmucks, well that can be a different subject
