I always had the thought that if you were getting something worth a small fortune for a fraction of the actual value then you are just as guilty. Im sure if it turned out to be real that the buyer isn’t going to sell it and split it with this guy.

So by that logic: someone who makes a garage sale "find" worth $15,000, tells the seller "these are worth a lot more than that", but still pays $500 for it when the seller insists "that's all I want for these"......that person is just as "guilty" as someone who purposely solicits and then deceives people out of large sums of money?

The same thing happens in card shops occasionally, as I imagine you know as well as anyone. If someone insists you buy their collection for a fraction of what it's worth, even after you've told them the value...if you do, you're just as guilty as a scammer committing a felony? As a customer would be who finds 10 cards still in your $1 box that have gone up to $50 each, and buys them?

I'm glad you don't make any laws

Too much gray area...if a 10 year old wants to sell me a Ken grieffy jr rookie for a buck at a garage sale, I might feel bad. If old grandma is getting rid of her dead husbands cards at a garage sale for a buck each, I might not feel so bad. Everybody wants to find the Ruth in a shoe box for a buck. Right? Heck I might even be a D**k and offer her .25 cents....

If memory serves me right, and it doesn't always, this card has been listed before or at least a similar situation as I remember the comments about his grandpa having it.
