I am actively buying and selling vintage sports cards graded and raw. Feedback as a buyer: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=297262

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.

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."

David,

If you don't act right away, then you can't get the deal...!!!
