Of course its illegal, but maybe there is something equivalent to no-extradition across state lines for collectibles.... why else is this guy letting the victim know who he is and then answering a phone call from the cops?

Hopefully it works out but I also do not understand that in the article

I’m out of mind that I let him leave the booth because I trusted him because his bag was in the booth. We had no idea how much money was in the bag; it’s not my job to do that.


When you are dealing in that value of cards and that value of money then it is your job

And if someone hands you a bag of their money in advance why the in world would you even think to take possession of it?

Like almost every theft story at the National I have heard, going back years and years, none of them seem to add up and are highly suspicious.

LOL, my favorite is still the purple sticker guy story and all the fake accounts on here he or his friend made to post about it.

Your gonna do a transaction of that much money without counting the money and you let the guy walk with the cards ?? Come on Man? Sounds ridiculous. This doesn’t add up to me. What happened who knows?

I guess the seller is desperate to score a deal on a Saturday afternoon?

If cards are ungraded, I wouldn't let them out of my sight.... what happen if "the kid" drop and ding a few corners???

Yup! Hence my reference to the ice cream line. That was a great piece of fiction and this one is starting to come off the same way.

Yeah that whole thread, with someone's supposed niece if I recall right, and Earl from SGC, and who knows what else was a classic.

I love when the evildoer is “Mr. Earl John Son of Cleveland”, not Johnson but John Son. He was right up there with the Riddler and Lex Luthor.

Sounds like this is going to turn into a he/he said he/he said story. Ohio guy can claim a deal was done and the other guy stole the $86k out of the bag...things that make you go hmmmmm.
