[@christophergolla775]

Pulled a Josh Allen Optic Gold RC out of a dead pack from a breaker and they stated they sent it to the wrong person with the same name. The breaker was clearly upset because dead packs are cheap because there are no autos. In the same shipment I also pulled a Baker Mayfield Teal Velocity which was a big card his rookie year. Oh, and a calvin ridley optic gold base rc/10 I ended up getting $500 store credit because they stated the other person with the same name would not respond. Yes, they steal cards. I got $500 for a card that is likely worth 5 digits today. I still have the emails and will post. I will reveal the company if you want to get in touch with me

I learned this very early on in group breaks. Was in a case break of '09 Exquisite NFL football. It had a lot of dual auto/jersey cards in it, which means randoms after the break. Of course, there was no video of the randoms and I lost every one of them, allegedly...

I never understood wanting to gamble like that. You spend X amount of money in the hopes you get a "hit" from the team you have. I asked one breaker if you get the non-hits from the team you paid into, and they told me usually no but for an extra fee they would. When it comes to getting ripped off and other shady things, I know for many of us who were collecting as kids in the 80s that we got taken advantage of really bad by dealers at shows and even by card store owners.

I've just been reminded of a video featuring G (could have been a Platinum breaks video) where they were opening 'Gold hot packs' which were guaranteed to contain gold parallels. This is impossible to know unless the packs have been opened and resealed. I especially remember G's comments "so much gold man, so much gold' as one gold parallel after another was being pulled sometimes 2 or 3 from the one pack, lol. It was Twilight Zone level stuff. And of course all the gold parallels were of absolute scrubs. Every one of them. The video might still be available. The YT algo threw me there when I hadn't heard of SCR much less G or Platinum breaks. I think it was in 2019, 2020. It would be hilarious to look at again.

When I really think about it the behavior sounds like addiction.

Even though they know whatever they are doing is obvious, getting their fix (cards or hot wheels) is what is most important to them, at any cost.

I wish I did more research into breaking beforehand as I’ve seen some really shady stuff in the last couple of months and prob been scammed out of a large amount of money. You really don’t question things in the heat of the moment, but later on you notice certain things. Like the amount of repacks that were all strait floor cards. Also recently I was involved in a break that were auctioning off packs of cards where one person hit three patch autos in three strait bids(one per box). I checked his bio and he was a big card dealer that sold himself and had ties to certain buyers of repacks. No doubt there are a loyt of sketchy things going on, be careful who you choose to deal with.
