Ehh think it would be small potatoes from them. They making billions from drugs through the border and human trafficking…

Perhaps because there is nothing at all funny about this theft, the attempts at humor in this thread are uniformly falling flat.

Might be going a little too far. Social threads going into comedic territory is not unusual, human condition and all that.

Yes, he had several big cards on consignment in the lot that was stolen.

It's called "gallows humor", Peter. You might not like it but others apparently do.

So...is the dead horse Bulgarian.

Was this dealer planning on vending at the National? If so, do you just bring your lesser / other inventory, or do you scrap the event? Did he own all the cards that were taken? Is it possible some were owned by other people and he was selling them on consignment?

Saw a post yesterday that he will still be at the National. Probably some lesser inventory, not everything of his was taken. Don’t know for sure about consignments, but that’s not the vibe I get from his operation, so don’t think so.
