6) Carryover from 2021, hacked eBay accounts are posting hundreds of cards for sale at auction requesting you message them to BIN, but it's a scam. Whack-a-mole with these guys, since eBay deletes one account and another pops up in days.

7) Counterfeit slabs and Mike Baker RCR Jordan RCs being passed at card shows in FL, VA, TX. Suspects arrested in Dallas; one tased for trying to escape.
