Great thread.

I have NEVER bought a card thinking it was real, and turned out to be fake.

The only cards I ever bought that I thought were 'good' that, upon receipt, I thought 'might' be tampered with, were a lot of Bowman football cards in high-grade PSA holders. But, I'll admit, I wasn't sure - just felt funny about the way some of them looked.

I have bought a few cards that were described as EXMT or better, that ended up having hairline creases, and two that had undisclosed pinholes. In all cases, I either disclosed the damage and still broke even, or I sent them back to the dealer.

I realize I'm in the minority, but there are some good reasons why I haven't been 'taken' yet.
