How did you pay for them ? I was assuming you bought face to face so atleast maybe knew where the person lived. Good luck with it but not looking very good.

This thread is an ultra sensitive thread.

Yeah, not even delivered... I would have rather had 100 fake cards than nothing.

If you do get defrauded use it as an expensive learning lesson. Most of us older guys (I have a feeling you aren't very old) have had much worse learning lessons. Not that it helps you any but this situation wouldn't make my top 20 bad financial decisions. good luck...

Dare I ask you to start a new thread detailing "top bad financial decisions?" Would be interesting to see what everyone would admit to...

Sean, I have to admit that I also think you may have gotten taken here...It happens. We've all had our learning experiences in the hobby. Don't let it discourage your love for the hobby, keep your head up bro...

Now to Matt's proposal. I love the idea. Would Bo Jackson count as a "top bad financial decision"? All kidding aside, I imagine there would be some very interesting responses in a thread like that...

I think my worst would be buying an "autographed" card from a seller on ebay, who seemed to dealt with mostly Matchbox cars, and junk parts without pictures for anything. I thought I was just getting a steal from a guy who didn't know what he was doing. Boy was that an understatement.. Turns out the guy didn't know the difference between an autograph and a facsimile signature on a card... I got a simple "Are you sure? I thought it was signed" and a quick and easy refund.. Coincidentally, while I joke about the money I'd lost collecting Bo as a kid, this also happened to be a Bo Jackson card..
