Couldn't agree more, Ethan would have given him the cards if he needs them that bad. I've been a sub on Ethan's channel from the beginning when he was opening in the kitchen.. There is ZERO DOUBT in my mind that the POS is one step away prison, he will be arrested..

Don't start assuming he's some sociopath committing felony crimes in the community. Who the hell knows? At this point, he deserves to be called out and embarrassed, and punished according to law in whatever establishment he's in. Nothing more.

[@kitescuriosities7717]

Maybe I’m just old and crusty, but I VIVDLY remember the old Brien Taylor, Kevin Maas, Jeff George, Andre Ware, etc. days when I was a kid. My parents REFUSED to spend big money on those cards for me back then and it really taught me lesson about getting sucked into the hype machine. Ever since then I have had a “wait and see” approach to this hobby I enjoy so much. I honestly can say I have never been influenced by a KZbinr to go mortgage my life for a prospect.

[@justthefacts2148]

Ethan is a good kid. He posted alot in our Sports Cards Obsession page many times when he was younger videoing opening what he bought at the card shops, stores ect. Hope that bastard gets caught.

[@kennybaker1026]

Seems like he would have to know the thief by now. I just hope these videos don't scare him off if he sees them. He'll come back otherwise. He's comfortable now.

[@dhughes636]

I think influencers, investors, flippers, and dealers could do themselves a huge favor if they made videos showing their actual PC in their closets or basements or bedrooms or offices or wherever in its entirety of who they actually keep, how it’s displayed and stored and who it is

[@TJJulkowski]

Spot on. I can’t stand “influencers”. They have done nothing for the hobby but sucked out any value for hits, clicks and likes.

[@godampokeman]

Biggest problem with these influencers is they dont watch games. I love the Falcons, the hype on Ridder was always misplaced. Anyone who watched a single snap knew that.

[@RM-TheQuadroon]

I'm actually suprised that dude didn't pull a Bedard with that much product. Sure seems like they printed them like crazy. There's more listed for sale rn online and being posted on reddit than total number of hockey fans in the world it seems.

[@deemz312]

I have been saying it for years. STOP falling for artificial rookie hype. Even if a rookie has a good first season the odds of that super inflated price tag going up more is almost zero. Just look up how rare it is for an NFL QB rookie card to hold big value. I seriously cant believe people are paying 10s of thousands for CJ Stroud cards. 😂

[@kurtanglerookieyear]

I had no idea Kurt was a high level dbag, I figured he was just some average hobby dude. Impressive

[@menamiller50]

Watched a recent video of an "influencer" asking other influencers what their biggest losses were/are. One said he "invested" 20K in Ian Book. I PC Notre Dame players and am pretty sure the only person that believed in Ian Book (in the NFL) was his mother. What's crazy to me is that people are still trying to sell his cards at "hype" prices (ie auto at 150-200) when they can be bought for less than 5 bucks. In other words "I overpaid, so I expect you to overpay so I dont lose anything"??????

[@EddieTheHorrorAddict]

I love how every card breaker on whatnot tried to push Ian book, Kellen mond and Davis mills. A real fan didn’t see shit in them

[@marcusbravo1573]

He could have bought THREE Bedard Young Guns. And that's provided he got them at retail, considering that it is impossible to buy at retail because of the Flip Bois, he likely paid secondary market price, which means he could have bought FOUR or FIVE Bedards for what he spent on retail.

[@richman1822]

“There’s a sucker born every minute” is a quote usually associated with PT Barnum but definitely linked to gamblers and confidence men a hundred years ago. May we add modern day sports card influencers to that list?

[@Keepgrinding3173]

Kurts Card Care became the dollar shave club of the card cleaning industry. Whatever juice/wax he is using in that bottle has probably been on the market for years. Dude probably buys the shit in a 55 gallon drum and puts in the cute little bottle with his sticker on it. I highly doubt it’s “100 handmade”.

I had no clue about Ethan getting ripped off. No matter who the shop owner is, it sucks to have anyone steal from you. After looking at the list of items on the 3k he spent, he should have went all hobby with 6 YG per box as a suggestion. Just as people mention the Kurt's Card Care those short clips you posted are filled with assumptions and blanket statements. 2 things that are never helpful. It's not Kurt's fault, we all have a choice to buy it or not.

[@_hyperdime_]

Am i the only one who thinks that top rookies should be difficult to pull? I like that Bedard is a tough find. To me, the hobby lost a lot of its enjoyment with "guaranteed hits per box." Back when base rookies of a star player were a tough pull is when it was the most fun.

[@waxtrashtreasures]

Is it just me or does the Roth cards guy look a lot like Shia LaBeouf?

[@jojowaterloo]

The Bedard YG's are different... I've opened a bunch of blasters, 3 tins and also no Bedard, which is a bit unusual for Upper Deck products of years past. I'm not saying they're short printed, but sure seems that way to me. I also opened 2 boxes of OPC and got only one Bedard Marquee RC... I have however pull some Bedard inserts, a base silver glossey, and an orange Bedard Dazzler. Bedard has been a tough one for me, mch tougher to pull than Wemby.

[@MrRealtalk2012]

Justin Fields is a decent quarterback and others are too. While you have married in what you say we're in a different age of technology where you're judging everybody instantly. Plenty of the great quarterbacks of old didn't have perfect seasons every year and certainly didn't win the Super bowl every year. There's only one quarterback that wins the Super bowl. So with that being said it doesn't mean you don't have other good quarterbacks in the league that play out of their mind. This truly is a team game unfortunately the quarterback gets the fame and also the demerits that come along with a loss. Well that being said it's also what team they go to? Sometimes they'll go to a team where you won't even pick a wide receiver for your fantasy leak because they have none. Only certain quarterbacks like Josh Allen can actually make a receiver better. You take that receiver and put them on another team and they're garbage. Now that is truth. So it all depends if you give these quarterbacks an offensive line a running back as well as a couple of weapons on offense then they'll do just fine. If you have four coaches in 5 years different offensive coordinators how do you blame the quarterback? Usually if you're a great quarterback you go to a shitty team. Look at how many teams did absolutely nothing to improve their team. There were plenty of them is that the quarterbacks fault? So while I agree with you there's a lot of pump and dumpers out there at the end of the day they're trying to sell their product through their boxes possibly. Yet if they're buying it for their own PC then why not hype the client up. It's a long time especially if the guys in his early twenties. If you played football you know it's called man down man up. That's what happened to Tom Brady. Drew bloodstone doesn't get hurt you don't hear about Tom Brady. That's the case in many football situations. There's a lot of people making money in these shows. And when you're out of show you're at a physical place so if you're really scheming on your customers I don't think your customers will come back to you so sometimes your customers come there looking for certain cards and if you have them and you don't push it on them and they buy them on their own like a stock then it's called unsolicited and that's the bottom line you give them a fair price of where it's trading and where you got it and that's set. No pumping no dumping just a fair price. Yet I don't know why you hating on Justin Fields. If anything the Jets should have went after him and had someone like Aaron Rodgers meant to him and then he could have certainly stepped into a team that's on the up and coming because you need to be mobile with that garbage offensive line. I would certainly count on Aaron Rodgers getting hurt again if they didn't improve in the offensive line because he's a pocket passer. Tom Brady was no fool so when he went to Tampa Bay they had always one back in the backfield helping out on any pass play as well as having many weapons on offense. Lol Not to mention a great defense. Let's put things in perspective here

I'm guessing they didn't discover the pilfering until his 3rd time in there, and when they went back over the security footage from other days they found the additional thefts. You're probably not going to do a daily stocktake in a card store, so unless a staff member observed something dodgy or out of place it's not uncommon for retail theft to go unnoticed until your next stock count.
