I am not accusing anyone in particular, just addressing the idea in your post that it's all the buyers' fault.

I was not suggesting that every item consigned is shilled and/or altered. I was also not blaming or condemning all of Probstein's buyers. Many of whom do not care if they are shilled and buying altered cards. I was speaking to those who do care and participate anyway when it is widely known how Probstein operates his business. Plenty of other places to spend one's money that comes with far less risk.
