I would absolutely love if anyone can articulate a reasonable, logical position using words as they actually exist and are widely used in the hobby and the English language instead of bullshit fantasy definitions morons have made up to mean the complete opposite of what they actually mean and undermine the entire point of a language existing, how this is fraud. Here's a specific example like I was talking about, using the box on my desk.

I bought this piece in an SGC slab. For proof, here is the unique card in its original slab: https://sports.ha.com/itm/boxing-car...a/7120-81299.s. I bought it as a complement to my master set build, as a unique 1 of a kind card supplement. Buying it raw is not an option, as this is the only Slavin/Hall partial strip that is known to exist. As I'm keeping it with my Mayo set, I broke it out of the slab. It lives in a cardboard box with my other 19th century pugilists. How have I committed fraud by doing this? Who have I defrauded? Who is the victim? If not criminal fraud but still ethically wrong, how was it wrong to do this? Can we get above a 60 IQ here?
