It's a long and complicated story but this was on the news
PS I'm out a lot of money.
Being honest has it's cost.
Cards are going back to Original owner after trial.
editted to add they see me as a victim too, should be pressing Grand larceny charges on him also.


"Canandaigua police say a man from Gates sold stolen sports cards worth $75,000 to a collector in Canandaigua.

Jason C. Howell, 33, of 196 Gates-Greece Townline Road in Gates was charged with second-degree criminal possession of stolen property,
a class C felony, on Friday, Jan. 5.

Police say Howell is accused of possessing the cards after he obtained them as the result of a burglary in Monroe County.

The cards, sold to the collector on several different dates, were baseball cards depicting players including Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle.

Howell was arraigned in Canandaigua City Court, and remanded to the Ontario County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond bail."

    I'm sorry :/ I hope this works out for the best....




    It's really crappy getting stolen property.... They CAN choose not to prosecute...

    And honestly shouldn't... You will be out all the $ for the cards you sold most likely... But they shouldn't prosecute...

    Crappy and expensive :/

    Morning,

    Wow sorry to hear that Smitty, as someone who did a Flawless $1000+ deal with Smitty I can testify that in my dealing he even sent the item out before the check had cleared. I hope that the DA finds it makes more sense to not heap more misery on you. Do you care to share anymore on how this went down?

    I was working on a volume deal with Smittys when this came up. He notified me immediately & could not have been more professional about it. I hope it works out.

    I read this a little differently guys ... I read it as though Jason C. Howell was the guy Smittys bought the cards from. I don't think Smittys is being prosecuted. Let us know Smittys! Hope it works out the best it can for you.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    I read it as Jason C. Howell sold them to Smitty. Then as Smitty was trying to sell them, the police caught up to the cards, thus leaving Smitty holding the bag.

    I hope you get your money back Smitty!

    Guys steals cards
    Guy claims they are his and sign invoices claiming his and not stolen
    Sells to me.
    I find out they are stolen and call police ( 3 months after purchasing)
    I turn them over to police to be return to rightful owner.
    The owner and I are Victims of the thief .

    very honorable....I once purchased a stolen item that belonged to the Baltimore Orioles (employee theft) off eBay. I contacted the Orioles and asked if they wanted it back as I was uncomfortable owning stolen property....They told me I could keep it, but thanked me for asking....(it was a game used base from Cal Ripken's last season).
