Biggest Takeaway from "Claim of $80k+ theft at the National" Thread

[JollyElm]

We've all read through this thread:
https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=323098

Now it's time for a poll.

What's your biggest takeaway from it.

1. He'a a Victim
2. He's a Crook
3. He's a (expletive) Moron
4. Both 2 & 3

[bnorth]

I voted number 3 but to be fair he was not the only one in the linked threads.

[Lucas00]

I would like to add
5. He's #1 and #3.

I assume this is pertaining to the dealer. Not sure why anybody would pick 2 unless it comes out this was some kind of ploy they were both in on.

[Lorewalker]

I am withholding my vote in hopes he will post on the other thread because I am undecided at this point.

Is there a word in the English language that means "moron" except times 10?

If there's not Jolly will come up with one.

Please, nothing concerning politics. Cut it out. And of course that goes for any politics.

That, of course, would be decamoron

Attempting to defraud an insurance company by making a false claim of a false theft that never happened would qualify for 2.

It would also be a crime to make an insurance claim, valuing the stolen cards way higher than their condition would actually be realistically worth.

Excellent point.

So how does one value a raw card? Beckett book value?
A lot of room for discourse when valuing raw.
Maybe that is the plan. Claim better condition than they are.
Of course that would mean the seller is a crook and I don’t personally know or ever dealt with the seller so I will bow out on the crook argument.
Regardless,someone in this deal is a crook. Not sure why name withholding is necessary. I like to know who I may potentially deal with.

I don't think any of us knows a single collector who would fork over the kind of money mentioned in the article for the valuations on those cards. These were ungraded cards.

The Ohio guy who allegedly stole these cards has been arrested. There's still time to cast your vote.

Arrested? Charges were filed. How do you know he was arrested?

Good to hear. I hate a thief as bad as a liar. Sounds like this guy was both.

The responsible thing to do would be to retract or correct your statement, if the accused was not arrested. Posting something that is not factual or not accurate about someone is not the best choices. Just saying...
