The sports memorabilia business is completely unregulated. As long as it is, the answer will almost always be “feign indifference”. There’s too little risk compared to the reward. This is brought to light and discussed on an almost daily basis right here - gratefully I might add. Everything from fakes on eBay to shilling to even trimming the most famous card of all time - the reward almost always outweighs the risk.
Last card show I went to, I saw two trimmed cards in the first 10 minutes. I told the dealers who "feigned ignorance". What's the risk to the dealer? Like I'm gonna call a cop over a trimmed card at a show? I actually don’t know what I’d do. I’d like to think I’d be honest, but……. I can say, however, I would never hesitate to rip off a dealer- as if! Sorry. |
