RE: Still burns
Ironically, you also have a MSF tag, so it's probably best for your own personal happiness to just move on at this point and enjoy collecting going forward.
Sorry you got burned, though ... I did as well once.
The cool thing was, the police department in the guy's town was able to get my card back for me.
Mostly because ... wait for it ... I had the guy's address, and he was trying to sell my card on eBay at the time.
When the officer called to tell me he had the card safely in his possession, I thanked him profusely, especially considering he had much better things to do.
He actually told me that break-ins, assaults, parole violations, etc. were a never-ending battle, so in a case like mine where he could actually help someone, he was glad to do it.
And when I told him I found it hard to believe someone would try to steal something when they know the other person has their name and address, he was like, well, when it comes to crime, some people just aren't that bright.

I am confused...you have been a member since 2018 and you have no trades in your profile. How did this happen?

He never said that it was on this site that he made a trade. Could have been elsewhere.

I knew it was on Beckett because I recognize the name of the trader he was upset with.

That's great! I have 483 trades...not burned once, and only 1 trade that I left negative feedback for damaged corners on half of the cards.
