Hobby "horror" stories--writer looking to hear from collectors, dealers and others

Hello,
I am working on an article about hobby "horror" stories and I wanted to see if some of the CU crowd had any to share.
These stories can come from collectors, dealers (full-time and weekend warriors) and show organizers. And the topics can range from paying too much
for a card that was misrepresented, buying a raw card and than trying to have it graded and finding out it has been altered or is fake, bad autograph experiences with athletes, having someone steal from you at a show and so on and so on.
Ideally, I would like to have some tips on how to prevent, or at least greatly minimize, these issues (where realistic)--and still participate in the hobby.
If you would, please respond to me via email at kozpro20@hotmail.com by May 28th with your name and your story.
Thanks again to all who have helped with articles in the past --Doug Koz

Doug does a good job and doesn't have a preconceived agenda like a lot of mainstream journalists- and when you tell him something isn't for publication it doesn't end up in print.
