Maybe this is a topic for a different thread, but how much responsibility do we have to educate sellers? The American Pickers scenario is different in my opinion because these guys are for the most part dealing with collectors/hoarders and not dealers. In that situation you should never take advantage of someone.
I purchased a Dogs Head cigarette package at a local antique show for $50 knowing full well it was worth ten times that amount. How much responsibility did I have to notify the dealer that I was going to make a lot of money by flipping that?
There is a tag sale company in my town that seems utterly clueless when it comes to certain items. I purchased a $1000 Notre Dame v Nebraska football program out of their dollar box. Is my moral compass off?
It is my understanding that Richard is buying these cards from a dealer of some sort and not just some hapless collector shelling out big bucks for million dollar collections.
