Sports card radio has videos up of one of their breakers moving a pack off camera and coming back with a different pack. When the story came out the breaker AGAIN showed his true colors.
He showed that the pack he moved off camera was slightly damaged. However the pack he now was saying he moved off camera was showed in a screen grab to NOT be the pack in question.
A real cluster. If you spend money with these Vintage Breaks scam artists from this point forward, you deserve what you get.
It’s all on YouTube and it is shameful.

I've been watching different youtube channels for some time.
I find some of them to be informative but also find some to appear "angry" to the point of being a turn off from my perspective.
Plus, they seem to live for controversy? One motive? Click bait? If you get enough subscribers and views? One can start raking in some serious coin I would guess?
I get a kick out of the terminology that's come out of this phenomenon - "content providers" - "social media/youtube influencers"....
Some are really popular and quite affable like Ryan Nolan of Breakout Cards; the guy goes to a different card show every weekend all over the US. He's also co-authored a version of Counterfeit Detector on how to ID fake cards.
Some I do like? Sports Card Dad - Dustin and Baseball Card Collector Investor Dealer - Chris.
This might be worthy of a discussion? Youtube vs the different Forums across the net.
Fun stuff
It looks like the seal was popped on the pack that he swapped out.
You can also see that opening the first pack he litteraly had to tear it apart. 2nd pack not the same. 1st opened pack seems to have tell tale signs of ironed shut?
the seal from the pack he swapped was definitely resealed. The telling feature was the how the wrapper tore while trying to open it.
I've also long suspected that they rigged their national 1955 Bowman baseball pack in an attempt to gain exposure which obviously worked.
whenever there is money involved there will be scammers.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Seems like this hobby has a disproportionate number of scammers. Maybe every hobby is like this - but between trimmers, re-sealers (packs, boxes and cases), forged autographs, fake slabs, altered slabs, counterfeit cards, group submitters stealing submitters funds, and now pack switchers there sure are a lot. Seems like it is possible to make an honest living In the hobby - we as collectors do not hold anyone accountable and let the dishonest continue with little to no consequence. About the only scam left will be the first empty vault.
Can we have Geraldo Rivera open that vault?
It was a PSA cracked case live on the stage at the national. And, I doubt they slipped in a PSA 9 Mickey Mantle raw.
xD
The video claimed that there was suspicion that he had switched out cards from a PSA group submission. Does anyone know if he posted here or what his handle was?
Always buying Bobby Cox inserts. PM me.
I like Sports Card Radio, but listening to them too much makes me want to burn my collection.
Their schtick makes the hobby fun and their tracking of hobby scammers is a net benefit IMHO.
I have made it a point not to listen to Sports Card Radio or click on any of their youtube videos. I always found them a bit crude and boastful, which I tolerated until they made fun of Tanner (@mouschi) on one of their podcasts a few years ago. That was the last time for me.
This is ridiculous. Get rid of that clown breaker. He sounds so guilty too. Instead of "Brandon Cooks numbered to /99", we get "You dip Daniel, why you dipped, why you dip"...
The breaker was an admin in the Facebook sports card scammers group. Obviously, not an admin now. Crazy world.
