Seller sues dealer/buyer for a high flip

[lumberjack]

Here's some ancient history.

Back in the mid 1970s, a sharpie wrote an article about buying Crackerjacks at a show from an old guy walk-in.

He gave the man one dollar each for the cards....And was bragging about it.

Crackerjacks were selling for 15 or 20 times that amount in those days; people hadn't caught on as to what they possessed.

At that time, a number of the more savvy dealers were advertising in newspaper sports sections. The hustle went something like this: "We will be at the Holliday Inn on Route 35 all weekend. There is cash in your closet."

And people would bring in their shoebox Topps and Bowmans (receive dimes on the dollar) and think they were stealing the money.

Beware, my friends. Man's inhumanity to his fellow man in nothing new.
