Rise and Fall of a Scalper's Sports Card Empire

[RGM81]

Came across this earlier this morning....interesting read. Note: there's some naughty language. LOL

Also, I never heard about this story that they reference in the article about Target in the US dropping sports cards after a gun incident....as a Canadian, I'll not wade into those waters because it can be....troublesome. LOL

I suspect there's a lot of stories similar to this one....guys getting into the hobby at a hot time, and now finding the harsher reality of it started to set in.

I am sure some member posted that about the Target on here if you did some searching. I remember reading about it perhaps it was not on here. I know a lot of us used to talk about all the folks who were in the hobby to make a quick buck like Tyrone. Heck, some folks even put apple airbags on cars in New York according to one story. So, they knew exactly what store the stocker was going to next LOL. I am so glad the hype has died down as now stuff is back to being discounted.
