I know what you wrote is not a verbatim quote of what the dealer said, but the moment he bitterly remarked how you're looking at your phone to try to "squeeze" him, tells you all you need to know.

If the last ten sales of a card went for $100, and his price is $200, then the last thing in the world you're trying to do is strong-arm him by asking if he'll take a price that's a little closer to a single Benjamin for it...to be in line with what everyone else is selling that card for.

He's the one doing the effin' squeezing with his ridiculous price. To go with the snake theme of my show post, let's call him a Boa ConPRICKtor.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
