Legal issues in the hobby

Posted By: barrysloate

While many of the issues you brought up are bona fide legal ones, the cost of collecting on most of them would be prohibitive, and they would just die out. For example, if somebody buys a $75 card from you on ebay, and then reneges, how much effort will you put in to collect it? You are likely going to let it slide.

I think a more interesting topic is: despite the numerous laws that govern fair trading, the baseball card hobby seems to be impervious to them. We all know it's the wild west, so I might discuss how laws are constantly broken and in most cases little is ever done.
