NickinvegasMy situation is a little different than most. I am the co-owner of a card shop. I thought about it and I have probably purchased more than six Pro graded cards. I have seen I would guess atleast 200 cards come through the door. My point is that I see more than most so I have probably bought more than most.
The part of your post that I did not like is:
"so you disregard all the warning signs and your supposed collecting knowledge"
I am not sure where you are coming from with that comment. My knowledge is not supposed, I am less knowledgable than a few on the board but I can hold my own. I love the game of baseball and I love the hobby I have been in for over twenty years.
I would never bid on an auction that was for a Pro card,private ect. without being able to pay via paypal. It is for me a safe circumstance. I can see all of the red flag's and I am driving right through them, but I have a safety net.
I have certainly made card purchases with a higher degree of risk.
The 'supposed knowledge' comment was rude and perhaps you should think before you write.
Regards,
Nick
