National: Cash or debit?

What will happen if I hand $500 in cash to a dealer for a graded card and then ask for a receipt - something that has the dealer's name and the card I'm buying along with the price. Because that's exactly what I intend to do.

Depending on the dealer you will either get handed a receipt or get that deer in the headlights blank stare. Everyone should be asking for a receipt if the dealer is not handing them out on their own.

If we are going to clean up the trimmers and shill bidders we should clean up the dealers not paying taxes also. If they don't offer a receipt just move on to one that does.

Cash.

Keep your wallet in your front pocket and be semi-alert. You will be fine. I think there is more danger of theft at dealer tables (thieves taking things from dealers) than pick-pockets or mugging. And stay away from the PWCC booth, bc that’s likely where the most unsavory characters will congregate.
