We can't all be miserable doctors.
Maybe put down the weights and work on your reading comprehension pal.

That is what a card forum is for in my opinion. Why is it so hard to discuss the matter here? That's one of the many reasons I decide to spend my time here. You guys are insinuating people who didn't confront him about this at the National are scared to do so or something? Horrible take, honestly.

Also, I don't even care that much to DM him either. It should be public discourse. If he is honest and innocent in this situation, it's incredibly easy to discuss and prove.
You’re being too sensible. Amazed more people don’t see it like this.

Meely’s bullet “point” #1 is a common tactic used not only after outright scams but even careless actions. I’ve followed this story closely and the latter is more likely, but it doesn’t change the attempt at deflecting. Implying he’s in the right because “crickets” - good one.

The funniest part is that many of these types sincerely believe the lack of in person confrontation “speaks for itself.” The only meaningful crickets are the ones heard right now.

A busy card show is really conducive to productive conversation surrounding the highest profile card scam in recent memory!

Older cards guys (understandably) let emotion trump reason. It’s why so many of them were butthurt and crying about the National while all the guys I know in their 20’s made $10k+.

I’d be upset to see younger people more successful than myself as well. Especially the guys who used the time to get away from crappy marriages or jobs back home.
Probably the most embarrassing and immature post I’ve read on blowout this year.

Congrats?

Brandon and I are never wrong. Even when we are arguing with each other.

Good one Grizz. You haven’t used that before.

Rattle Pokemon's newest video features this Meelypops of this thread.

It's a fairly long video but if anyone was curious to listen to an audio thread recap, with Rattle's added input, here's the video.

This Meelypops thread starts at 31:40

I don't know why people keep giving their money to someone like Jameel, just not a good guy to put it mildly.

Rattle's voice while reading all of Meelypoop's posts are worth the watch alone.

Yes, it is. I was entertained. KhalDrogo summed things up pretty nicely with his "either stupid or scammer" post. I, myself, am leaning toward scammer.

Just to clarify, the guy who made that post is likely Gen-Z, not a millennial. (at least I hope so)

I haven’t responded in 3 weeks and you guys are still talking about me, really strange. Really convincing everyone you aren’t just a miserable virgin who comes on Blowout to be an abrasive dickhead.

Considering I have a bachelors degree in finance, wouldn’t touch Bitcoin with a 10-foot pole.

That said, $COIN was up like 82% over the past month, so anyone who didn’t buy it when it was in the $50’s probably shouldn’t be investing. Talk about easy money.

28 and married, pretty sure that’s not Gen Z.

I’m just lucky enough to buy/sell cards full time after working in corporate finance. And every weekend, there are old guys coming up to my tables at card shows and griping about the younger generations/not making money at shows.

Full time? Wow. I hope for your sake you’re doing all the big sales in person. Because judging by your eBay sales the last three months, you might want to get that finance job back.

Good times in here. What did GrizzKid do to get the ban hammer?

You are overlooking his COMC page. He must be pulling in about $3 per day on average with his inventory.
