As a middle school teacher (who hands out cards to students instead of candy), I would take any donations of common cards you have! They are gold to me!

this scanner won’t scan chrome cards raw don’t buy it that’s why he is using top loaded cards and hiding his raw scans

I think you should know what you're buying dummy

I did the same thing with a truck load of cards about 15 years ago . Kept a little , sold the higher value stuff and then sold it to another wheeler dealer type guy . Biggest reason was it was taking up space in my garage .

Bro, you had it in your hand. It's your own fault 😮

Bro. You're being too nice. He ABSOLUTELY knew. He scammed you. He's celebrating.

He absolutely knew why else did he put the sticker there? But to be fair as a buyer you do have to be more careful! But shitty thing for dealer to do

He knew he f ing with u.

You did something called impulse buying, Dont feel bad we all do it. People buy cars they cant afford just for the emotional kick/high you did the same. What the Dealer did is called Passing the Buck, when they know something is wrong and try to hide the fact to get their money out of it. When you want something Badly control those emotions!!!!

I come from trading video games item and recently started trading cards. I have dealt with way too many scammers when I first started. I image the same kind of guys are also into cards. Never trust anyone in a field where money is involved.

30 year collector..we all make mistakes…but to say the dealer didn’t know…really…..it’s always about the money…not the cards…that’s the truth……why else would there be tons of people at shows….looking for a deal…..I bought 17 cases 25 years ago……I would recommend going that way…a lot more fun…profit…..have a great day!

Here’s a REALLY cynical take. Dude made this video to max out the chances of a sympathy buy from someone having watched this video

Buyer beware. Why is this an issue? Because you did not pay attention? so what. wow i feel bad for the seller.

I'm like you in that I always want to believe that most people are genuinely honest and the dealer wasn't trying to pull a fast one, but after further thought, I agree with the others that yes he probably knew and yes, he was trying to scam someone

Im on your side!! Keep doing you brother

What did the dealer trade for that will tell you if the vender knew.

Happy with $1,500 trade wtf😂 I would have flipped out on the guy and told him I was going to file a police report and let everyone know he was a scam i would gave made a big scene thats alot of money. The guy definitely knew or It wouldn't have been so cheap. You got scammed. You should do everyone a favor and say who it was so others don't get scammed like you did.

He knows about it Its more of the buyers fault not inspecting it before buying

It’s ur fault for not looking hard enough that’s on u

Cost of doing business. Flippers run into this all the time. Check your cards!!!

first card show tomorrow so nervous

Those Kenny Picketts did not age well for that kid lol

I’m sorry but dealer should’ve made sure you were aware

This is the problem with the hobby…HUGR PROBLEM… Cards shouldn’t be worth exactly what the last sale was, that should only be a guideline. They should be worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them. PERIOD. ALT, EBay, and Card Ladder are GUIDELINES, not the end-all-be-all.

Here is a major hint on buying any graded item. When it says authentic, it means it is so severely damaged it does not get a graded rating. Should have been an immediate flag and question on what that was. Also, buying it for almost half of the regular collectors' price is another. Some dealers are upfront on everything others are scammers in the industry. I remember years ago when autographs were literally getting to the point of almost 100% fakes showing up at shows and antiques dealers. The dealers were authenticating their own autographs with their own certificates of authority. Took companies like Beckett, CGC, Jsa to save that industry. Huge rings of individuals were arrested across the country. Now, it's pretty safe to get autographs since expensive ones are usually certified by a reputable company. Buyer beware on anything, especially if it's cheap. It also goes the other way around as well. People specifically targeting dealers who mismark an item and then prey on dealers that have not updated their inventory on current prices or never knew the price was that high. I have had that happen to me as well. Sold some comics that were worth ten times my asking price because I failed at the time to do the work on checking on current prices. In both cases, if the sellers are honest, as well as buyers being honest, this would stop. Bottom line if you are a buyer, you need to slow down and examine what you are buying and the dealers being up to date on pricing and being up front with major damage issues regardless if an item is graded.

The exact card sold on ebay in July for exactly $10k

Remember when card collecting was fun? It’s a shame what mostly the modern wing of the hobby has become. Thanks for sharing and Good collecting👍❤️

It's nice to hear both sides of the story I would have liked to have been there to see what the dealer said right away if he had just made that deal he damn well knows himself before he bought that huge collection he would have removed that sticker and like you said you learned the hard way cuz you just happened to be the perfect person in the only person that would not have taken the card out of the bag I would have immediately always look at my four corners, everything you told early snap decisions and not getting greedy but always doing a deal too fast you just fell refill into the trap even the dealer might have fell into but then you can find out right if he was the original purchaser on eBay

Anyone else ida got my money 🤑💰 calling out SCAMMERS thank u for truth your side of the story

Moral of the story, a fool and his money are soon parted..

I give you props for not naming the dealer. Regardless of whether or not he knew it was damaged is a mute point. You had the decency to stay true to your own morals and not just blaming him. It was your fault for not looking the card up and down. Front and back. Personally I would've tried to remove the sticker just to look at it in all its glory. He would've had more stickers. I think he knew something was up with it. A dealer will know the comps and anything and everything. But you said it yourself, you saw the card and got the high of getting it for a good deal. Something in my gut even tells me that the neighbor in the booth next to him knew something was up with the card too, that's why he was eyeing you so bad. Not that you we're trying to steal it but that you'd uncover the truth of the card in the first place is my guess. But lesson learned, even if it was the hard way and it hurt your pocket. Keep chasing my friend. Thanks for the video

learn a trade, start a family & collect as a hobby

dont start a podcast. that market is cooked more well than sports card influencers

One other thing about the price sticker....he claims he got it 45ish minutes before selling to You so he would have paid 7500$(or whatever was on the previous sellers price sticker) because unless he can erase ink that original price from the previous seller would still be on it. Are You truly this blind or foolish not to see the scam son?!

Dude You made some dumb mistakes like not noticing the authentic grade but no grade number, etc. Still though that slimeball, scumsucking, POS dealer knew 100%. We know this because of the price sticker placement and the asking price. If You do not out this scammer then You are just complicit in future scams by him, if he truly was innocent in this he would have refunded You 100% on the spot. Goddam you kids these days are perfect victims and it is just sad and pathetic...

How do you not inspect a card before buying it? Especially with the amount of red flags. No number grade, red flag. Low asking price, red flag. Price tag covering corner, red flag. My 9 year old niece would have figured that out.

Your stupidity is why u got took! All u had to do was turn the card over, how in the hell did u not turn it over like 10 out of 10 people would do? Nobody commenting is going let someone leave with a card then buy it back after they did whatever to it, if u would then u are dumb too. This guy is saying anything to make him not look dumb, he said the dealer looked weird then changed it to i think he is a straight up guy. To the people crying about the sticker placement there was damage on both sides and this guy still didn't see the non-stickered side? Hell any dealer would have sold it after seeing him look at it then offer a above price thinking he saw at lest one side of the damage that u can clearly see heck his buddy seen it right away. Who don't look at both side before buying a $9k card?

I almost bought a used work truck till my buddy discovered a small piece of electrical tape covering the check engine light. So yeah, people do shady shit. Buyer Beware

I just wish when I was this kid's age I had the money to spend $6500 on anything, much less a damaged card lol. On topic, the dealer should be banned. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing and it's why he listed the card at a "too good to be true" price AND covered the damage with the sticker. Also as others have mentioned, cards authenticated and not graded are usually a red flag. At the end of the day to spin some positivity on it, you learned a lesson (albeit an expensive one), are getting the information out there for others to beware of in the future and you have a story to tell.

Solid video man. Seems fair all around. Sometimes lessons are to help others. Everyone doing this has had similar experiences.

U don't go politely back to the vendor, u can clearly see with the placement of the sticker that he intentionally placed over the damage. Also, a card that good and when u first showed interest he didn't mention the he had just traded for the card 45 min. Earlier. In the end, it's your fault for moving too quick but at the end of the day, the vendor knew and was waiting for a kid just like u to make a thousand dollar mistake

You claim you made a mistake but yet it's titled Did I get scammed? WTF

I'm with you Staks, tough pill to swallow.

I just happened to come across this dealer online. Wasn’t difficult at all. The only dealer that has over a dozen of DREW BRESS FLAWLESS AUTO Look at the photo and follow the cards in the background it will lead you right to the dealer 😉

You shouldn't have even made this video. Changes nothing. Huge red flag on a person who purchased a 400k inventory and doesn't have your money.shakes!

I fell for something like that many years ago when I was a teenager back in the pre-grading era (mid-1980s). A card shop owner sold me a 1972 Topps Steve Garvey card. It was in a screw down holder and had a circular price tag on the center of the card (and a circular sticker on the back of the card in the exact same spot. The card overall looked very clean and had sharp corners. The card was priced closed to a mint and I decided to purchase the card. Unfortunately, I didn't asked to look at the card outside of the screw down and when I got home I discovered a huge grease bubble that seeped from the front to the back of the card. I went back to the store and tried to return it but the owner said the card didn't have the grease stain when he sold it to me. I ended up never going to the store again and shared the story with as many people as I could. The store went out of business a couple years later though I doubt it had anything to do with the card and ensuring customer service he provided me.

How the dealer not know there was damage when he took it on trade dident look it over bs

The dealer knew the card was damaged

Is there any proof he traded for it that morning?? 🧐

both party involve wasnt bother
