It's interesting to me that over half the respondents so far think that the person claiming his cards were taken is a crook.

Do you think he is making the story up? Or do you just think he is overstating the value of his cards, and that is a criminal act?

There is no way his story is true. He made it up or it happened very, very differently from how he is claiming.

A guy could write a short story about this, and have it play out a dozen different, interesting ways.

Hypothetical scenario: An insurance claim is made, then the "thief" comes forward, confesses to his actions, produces the cards, and to ascertain whether the insurance claim declared amount was honest, they are submitted to PSA.

A year and a half later, when PSA has finally graded them, it turns out they weren't worth anything close to the claimed amount.

But then, the "victim" says the cards the "thief" produced, that went to PSA, were different than the ones taken at the National.

It will be very interesting to see how this actually plays out, and to hear from all sides. I'm thinking there is potential for this to be made into a movie. Either a mystery with twists and turns, or a Three Stooges type comedy.

Our hobby is a bizarre place. My favorite part is that 7 people (at present vote) here think his story is legit or mostly legit and he is an actual victim.

If the guy who took the cards gives them back, there would no longer be an insurance claim.

And I would say all the votes for He's a moron count him as a victim, just an unsympathetic one.

By now I would have thought triple digits. 7 shows the planet has hope.

It says that he was charged, not that he was arrested.

One thing is that real crime stories and people being had can be really stupid. Even smart people can sometimes do really stupid things.

I know someone intelligent and logical who, often in the heat of the moment, fell for a really stupid scam. Afterward, he said, "How could I have fallen for something so obviously nonsensical?"

Professional scammers usually rush people and make them think they have to act right away, so they don't think about it or look into it closely. That's why I've taught my 80-something mother about online and email scams "There's nothing where you have to act right away."

In the latter, You've succeeded. So theres that

Giz-stain - appearance of a NM card at one dealers table, only to reveal stains and wrinkles when you get back to your table.

Hoaxy-moron - a hoax so blatantly fake in so many regards....you are looked at as a moron (10x)
