He also ripped up every undersized card and threw it in the trash regardless of value.
It was a disgusting sight.
His stuff, his choice.
My choice was never buy or sell there ever again.

That describes many many many many dealers from back then to today. I live in a small rural area that has had very few dealers. I have personally seen or heard first hand stories about every single one of them "fixing" cards.
It just depends on if they are "friends" with the card fixer or not if you get offended. Seen it on here many times.
