David Rudd wrote, "However, it is unethical for a seller to intentionally withold information about a card that he knows would lower the sales price.", and you responded, "I respectfully disagree. Buying a baseball card is like buying a used car. Caveat emptor -- let the buyer beware."
I am really shocked to hear you say this after your very cogent post about where you drew the line in terms of soaking, namely at removing creases, which you yourself characterized as an ethics-based position. Are you really saying it's OK to commit fraud (because the intentional withholding of material information is fraud) just because a baseball card is involved?
