As the news broke in the Atlanta Magic Facebook group, I felt the need to really talk about this. Yes, there’s short cuts that can get you a rung or two up the ladder, faster than you would have – but at what cost? We all know each other so well, and ostracization/boycotting can happen for very inconsequential reasons even. Why give such a universal reason for no one to ever do business with you? Even non singles related, the impact can go far and wide. As I understand things – there was even an adjustment to SCG’s standings of season point leaders in the wake of this event. So, wouldn’t that tell you the cost is just too damn high?

This is one of the few places that just doing the right thing is so easy to do. Thanks for echoing that sentiment with me. I love knowing that I’m not alone in how I feel about things.

I’ll never rip anyone (as I’ve been ripped before), I always give fair value and give them the reasoning why. Thats why my turnover for my binder is amazing. Gotta love the magic community

I’m amazed at how many players come to me requesting cards and tell me stories about how one shop/person screwed them over and that they enjoy dealing with me because I won’t do that. There’s a reason all the writers on this site have repeated the mantra that Jim told you and why we can all agree it’s a successful strategy.

I’m a sucker for sincere pieces that mean more in the long run than “buy this.” Nice work
