More sports card dealers are getting exposed for their involvement in altering and trimming cards.
As far back as 2006, Charles "Charlie" Barokas of Mercer Island, Washington has been accused of card trimming.
News of the scam broke on the Blowout Forum.
Sports Card Radio reached out to Barokas for comment through eBay. Barokas denies being a card trimmer.
