I agree with you; I'm just not comfortable being the guy to say it.

So was this guy banned after posting this? Don't think I've seen that label of shame during my time here.

Default He’s gone

But a strategy he was trying to use IMO is getting enough posts over time to look legit for a future fake item. We all know to watch out when someone has only 1 or 2 posts but this guy was getting close to 30….. glad Leon pulled the plug on him!

I think it's unfair to apply that quote about doing nothing to me. In this guy's other thread, I questioned how he called the T3s "big cards" after claiming to have done research. To me, that was a big red flag because it indicates deceit. The Wagner was obviously fake. But I wasn't comfortable dismissing the Clemente bat order page because I'm not knowledgeable about that.

If I was too cautious to positively, unequivocally dismiss things I cannot evaluate with confidence, so be it.

IMO all the new guys coming here posting about "something they just found" or "question about something I just bought" and acting uneducated about the item are just fishing for a behind the scenes PM offer to buy.
Otherwise, what's the point of these posts? I don't think any of these guys are really that naive as to what they have.

Default Another reason

I believe a lot of these scammers come in here to see what the experts see as wrong with their fakes so they can make better ones next time. That’s why it’s better not to be too specific when calling them out IMO
