I saw that to and thought that also but he flipped the card once while in the stack still but I noticed the sand at the bottom right corner just peeking a bit before he flipped it while in the stack still. I think it was the same card that was in the stack but he had intentions of changing it. I think he saw the running edge of water and knew he'd better not dip that. He's for sure up to something.
Because people don't have access to cards where they live. Not all walmarts stock cards and it's easy to find anything you're looking for online. I'm not finding 2019 anything in stores most likely
Only way I'd do it if it was an expensive box or break where you'd go in for 20-50 and get at least a pack or so. Whereas to get in at a card shop itd be like $200. Or like it's a break where you get a whole team. Or a gamble break where you can take a whole box or more if your pack has the lowest number or whatever preset conditions were met. Sometimes it's worth it. To take a whole box or case by pulling the lowest numbered card. If somebody doesn't have the money to buy boxes and boxes they can come up. I would do it if it was a set I liked or trying to get some low number card.
I think he wanted to do a swap, he had the intention of swapping if the player on the card was a monster like Brady, or Mahomes, or Lawrence, etc. So I think once they saw it wasnt a big name they brought the card back onscreen.

The fact that he took the card off camera is wrong, but aside from that theres no logical reason to take it off that long unless you were fumbling around for a replacement

As we've seen from all previous breakers who have scammed and stolen over the years, there is 1 consistency amongst almost 100% of them. They all repeat themselves all the time. When they steal, they don't know what to say but to repeat whatever word last came out of their mouths multiple times. Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat amongst other things he repeated.
I've found this as well. I think it also helps to cover any noises in background from their shenanigans. If someone's repeating themselves that much you would have thought they got dinged in the head

@Cash Rules - I wish I could too but I get low balled so bad on all my big cards that I don’t want to sell them. My bigger cards are probably worth in the hundreds or even thousands tho
Selling them on Ebay is the only way to get the most money out of them bc if you try to sell to a card shop, they can't pay you the highest comps. They have to have room to make money on it themselves. They assume a bunch of risk buying high end cards of current players bc if that player gets hurt next week, the cards value takes a 30% dive. You've got to remember when selling to a business. They aren't buying for a collection. It's a business to them. Another issue with selling on eBay though is that people don't want to pay big dollars for a card from someone with 0 feedback
Stuff like this, and all the grading shenanigans are why I sold all my stuff last year and I haven't been happier. I still enjoy watching the vids and living vicariously through you.
It does almost seem like he's projecting. it's the first thing he says, and follows that with how it shouldn't be graded due to issues with the bottom edge or whatever. 🤔
This is exactly why most "big name" breakers use at least 2 cameras. Its a simple thing called transparency. I know it wouldn't catch everything, but a "bird's-eye" view would be helpful.
STOP buying into breaks people and this all goes away!!! It amazes me how flustered these guys get and how they don't know what to do with themselves even after ripping thousands of packs of cards when they see a little shine in the pack in hand.
Unfortunately the hobby and secondary market have made if near impossible for the averaged income collector to purchase some of higher tear products. Whether they do it for an investment or grow a collection, for some, the only way they can have a once in forever chance of pulling a top rookie RPA or solething like that would be to buy a spot in a break. So really we should be careful just throwing shade at all breakers and stearing ppl away. Buy instead encourage and even promote breakers like pacman or Layton sports cards or idk any of The big ones that you’ve watched and feel comfortable with. But if someone consistently gets put on blast for potentially scamming and idiots still buy from them? Yeah they’re dumb. No one deserves to get scammed but for fuck sake of the waiter days careful plates hot andddyaadooittttanyways!!! Then burn bitch. Bye
the human psychology here is fascinating. if you read between the lines in the apology note at 4:11, the breaker justifies stealing the card because it was a new client, only “in his second break”. so the customer didn’t deserve the card anyway, because they had not spent enough money breaking with him yet. amazing how the mind of a thief can always justify the theft.
Your right! And to add to that, he also said that new customer in only his 2nd break, AND he already gotten a Downtown refractor “ so that’s him sayin even more a reason lol
It's amazing how far off you are -----> He's not admitting to stealing for 1. #2 - He wasn't saying the "client" was new and undeserving of the card = He was saying he was excited for the purchaser because they were new and had some super good luck so his reaction was due to his excitement for the individual he was ripping for. ..... with that being said - He totally f'd up and even "if" he didn't DIP = he's still hella sus for his unprofessionalism . Big pass from this degen
Taking the cards off camera for a couple of seconds would be bad enough but for that long is just inviting extremely well deserved criticism. I don't care what reasons are given after the fact from being nervous to I made a horrible yet honest mistake if there was nothing shady happening his own alarm bells in his head would be going off after a second or 2
I don't feel like it was the same card you don't see the background all the way to the edges like that. Definitely not the same card if you ask me. The cards should never leave the screen.
I thought the same until I noticed the sand on the bottom right while it was still in the pack stack before taking off camera. He then flips the stack not revealing the left edge which would be the side the water runs off of it. So it's the same card maybe just a switch of the same downtown
@@ryancoleman1 Its a different card, its not the water, its just the silver we see... If he was switching it for the "same downtown" He wouldnt of pulled all of this fuckery he would of just done it post break off camera as he controls which 1 he mails to you, no need to "switch" that on camera... he def switched the cards to a lesser waddle..
Ya dip bro. Yes it seems way to shady and you definitely can see him switching out a card. He was pressing a little hard so that the other back card wouldn't move. People stop paying people to steal your money and just open card's for yourself. Everyone has at least 3-5 different store's near them walmart, target, toy's are us, and Myers ect. We also have ebay, internet to access walmart, target and online stores to purchase a box 📦.
you definitely can? where? Its VERY VERY hard to see the reflection. You have some imaging tech that we dont have? lets see it! This is FAR from clear evidence.
Yeah, it would've only taken a second to show the card, but he goes on and on about being nervous and he hopes it's not a Fields and it takes him forever. So, yeah, very fishy and I'm inclined to believe he swapped it out.
The fact that his brain is a puddle and cant put a coherent sentence together screams he was focusing on something else- dont think penn and teller should be worried about their day jobs yet
I’ve said it many times in my videos. How people continue to send money to these two-bit breakers is beyond me. Barrier to entry is so small. Half of them have terrible setups. You’re practically begging to be scammed. They ruin it for the breakers that are good people. PS sports card scammer tracker is a 🐐 page. Shouted that out many times.
@@DanTheCardMan2 No I understand what you said. I don't think you do though. Two bit means insignificant, small time, low volume. It has zero implications to stealing. People that steal are just called thieves.
I personally think their was 2 downtowns and he kept one , I have seen a few times where there has been multiple in a hanger box by accident …I mean he knows good and well he needs to have the cards in the camera and anyone that don’t loses all credibility …hope no one breaks with him again
That's what I thought too. Replacing one DT for another seems silly, although when he kept saying "I hope it's not a Fields," I thought for sure he was going to come on camera & it would be a Fields. But 2 DTs in the same hanger makes the most sense to me too.
the reason why it's bad is because, yeah he took it off camera, but he also waited to announce what the card was until he brought it back (or found the replacement for it). If it was Waddle, he could/should have said that from the start. Only reason to stay silent that long is cuz he was searching for the replacement and didn't know what it was gonna be yet, imo.
As much as that still has sting to it for a guy who had a parlay with all dogs on the $line with the Jets, Falcons, Giants & the lone loser being Miami I'm getting a damn good laugh from that 😆
shaking my head. I can't even stand when breakers peak what the card is before we see it. Like those that are able to do so that we all see at the same time. I don't mind the slow roll but of course do so with cards on camera.
Ugh...I'm a breaker and really want to do well and do right, but situations like this along with other shadiness just make things difficult. Please continue to show these videos and force the standard to be high.
Yes exactly.Anyone that started or wants to start doing breaks these situations make it harder for them because of people will not want to buy with any new breaker.
Get ready to lose your ass in money for about the first 6 months until you develop your reputation and feedback on Ebay. I've been doing breaks for just over a year and things were tough starting out.
@@slayerde440 why? Because most breakers I've seen are solely in it for the money. They don't even know the names of players, it ANYTHING beyond the value. It drives prices up and will further continue ruining the industry. My dad had a baseball card shop when I was a kid. He feels the same... SMH
Soon as that card went off camera , all integrity of that breaker was lost. Don’t care if it was the same card or not as we will never know for certain. You can blame it on emotions or whatever but you can’t take the card off camera. If he was so worried about it being stuck , should of shown the back of the DT first so all there knew who it was beforehand.
Any time a valuable card is pulled out of a pack I think the person who bought into the break or spot should receive full comp value in cash of the best variant of that card in the set. If it gets taken off camera we can only speculate that there was ill intent.
Look i do breaks. And the etiquette is simple. All cards, all packs and all boxes. Stay in view of the camera at all times. Period end of story. The second it goes off screen, it leaves the opportunity for dishonesty. Pretty simple even if it seems crowded all that stuff on camera. I never wanna be in a position like this. I understand people arent perfect. But if this were my break, he would be done breaking with me
The only possible reasonable exception is an unopened box. If the wrapping is still on it, that’s the key. The minute the wrapping is off, it definitely can’t be off screen.
Sorry if I'm repeating this but I just saw the video. The card was clearly switched out. Look at time 1:30 then 3:05. The 1/4 inch exposed at 1:30 is clearly different than the edges on the Jaylen Waddle card....
This is an example of why everyone should not be in business. It takes more than reselling at more than you paid. Sole proprietor and small LLC needs to know business math and understand that small means you need to build trust, you don't have corporate money to buy it. When your break looks like a rigged carnival game you can't build trust. Breaking is going to change at some point to another corporate run monopoly. The bigger breakers aren't acting legit, more like funneling cards to family and friends on the dime of others. Now is not the time for sloppy presentations. It was strange not seeing or hearing packs opened
I used to think you were a pot stirrer, the more I watch the more I think you're actually a great person looking out for the best interest of others, Thank you for your videos. You're definitely NOT A DIP 🙂
It was %100 swapped. You can tell by zooming in on the border of the card when first revealed. Before for no reason he flips the cards upside down. The waddles has a blue wave and orange color going the full extension to the border. The sliver of the side you see on the reveal doesnt have the blue wave and orange extension to the edge.
I collected as a little kid in the 80s…all the LCS opened packs and resealed them. Killed my love for the hobby and they all went out of business. Then these breakers 😂. I order all of my cards through the Topps site and fanatics (only collect Topps). None of these greasy neckbeards are getting in between me and my cards. The only thing I use them for are PSA submissions and I do my own inspections. I’ll buy a few loose packs when I’m there to patronize them for the service but that’s it. They could all disappear tomorrow, card shops and breakers, and the hobby would be better for it.
He was about to steal what he was hoping would be a big player. It turned out to be Waddle so he didn't pull off the scam but was thinking about it, hence the extreme nervousness.
You can tell its a different downtown, there is a hint of a straight line or edge of a sign near his finger, so if the card was flipped it would have part of a billboard on the upper right
1:40 you say on the record the guy zoom in on the card it’s not the right card on the edge edge of the card you can see the difference he zoomed in on the card more likely swap them out and y’all can see and the reflection he’s on the computer typing probably look that up whatever we gotten that pack Looked it up on eBay , like you said, his other hand went underneath the table and like he tossed that card on the table
With all the scams going on I don't believe he was honest. People nowadays need to understand the hobby is not like it use to be in the past. Kids want to get the biggest card by all means. This is just another scammer that needs to go.
I don’t know why this was recommended to me. But I can say it’s super odd he’s super announcing “I’ve never pulled this card! I’ve never pulled a waddle” All I heard was “this card couldn’t have been pulled from under my desk because I’ve never gotten one before!”
At most I think people should take that in to consideration. if your going to be in a break with him and he takes cards off camera you should be refunded for that position unless your ok with what you got. This way he's more aware of what he's doing as well as your protecting against what could be a scam
I don’t believe he swapped it. Look at the card closely when he first reveals the side. It’s upside down and the right side of the card imaging matches what we see on the Waddle card.
It's a different card lol. We see the side of the card before he shows the waddle and we can see straight optic pattern sides. The waddle has coral basically all the way to the end of the side. If it was the same card, we would have seen the coral art on the side since it goes out further then what we were shown.
It wasn't stuck to the previous card, takes it off camera for no reason, then keeps it off for a minute. Even bumped the camera reaching under the table. Thief. What does it matter. Every proven thief still gets people to buy into breaks. People are idiots and get what they deserve.
Taking cards off screen is obviously a big No NO in the breaking biz, however I will say that after comparing all the Downtown cards, the only card that matches the edge shown at the 1:40 mark is the Jaylen Waddle. Focus on the Coral and the ground for comparison (the card is upside down for reference).
I want to thank you, brother! Because years ago, i considered entering Live Breaks, but your videos was one of the few that I spotted exposing these losers! The only live break I have ever been in was at the local shop in Jacksonville, Florida and it was in person and it was straight up! Because of your videos, I refused to enter any live breaks, with the exception of one guy, who I am heavily considering paying for a spot in his live breaks and that's the popular TH-camr "RuGoodLife."
The card was definitely not stuck as you can see in the video the card was like 1/4 inch away from the top card then he slides it back to flush with card agin he def tried to switch or did switch took to long and made to many movements before sliding the card on table
You can see it’s a different card because if you look at the original, you can see a part of a football on the left side, and the waddle doesn’t have that.
The most hilarious, most consistent thing that all these breaker scammers have in common, is when their pullin off the scam, or heist, they repeat themselves 😂😂😂 “ya dip Daniel”.. “I’m so excited idk what to do” and “sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat” and who could ever forget “Brandon cooks, of 99” 😂😂😂😂 it’s like they natural instinct while they pullin off that cruddy sht is to try to keep talkin to insure the viewers their still on camera cuz we can hear em, but we can’t seeee u no more dummiiiiieeeeessss 😂😂😂😂
Crap like that is mostly why I quit particularly in breaks. I had a questionable incident happen to me with a Mac Jones card before the season started so I messaged the breaker several times with no response then they finally replied and said it wasn’t Mac Jones so I then contacted Whatnot and they supposedly sent the video to the breaker to review (I asked them send me the video or review the video themselves and they did neither) and of course the breaker said he never pulled a Mac Jones and the card they sent to me was the right one. I still think they screwed me over.
As far as I could see, the card was not stuck to the one in front of it in any way. If it was, we never would have seen the edge of it as he slid the top card over a bit.
I just love how he straight up says iv never pulled a waddle downtown over and over..🤔🤔 and he grabs the downtown on purpose! He feels for it and grabs the 2 cards!!!
This hobby has had people like this in it for decades. I remember back in 1989 when the owner of a local sports card shop, sold me a few packs of Upper Deck football and I pulled two inserts that were obviously new and hadn't yet been listed in Beckett. He literally offered me(immediately) $5 for each insert. I refused, the cards came out in Beckett a few weeks later at $50.00. Now, I was new to the hobby back then, but still, the nerve of that guy to believe that I was desperate for money, so he decided to low-ball me and offer m $5 for each card, "knowing" their worth! I eventually entered the U.S. Navy and wherever I was stationed, the first thing I did was look for a local shop. After that guy, I literally started to test shop owners, by trying to sell cards, I knew already knew what they were worth, just to test them and see if they are honest. I despise people like that! Just be honest and straight up with people.
It’s only fitting that a Brandon Cooks card was in the pack 😂🤣

Group breaks are cheaper to afford higher end products.
Only way I'd do it if it was an expensive box or break where you'd go in for 20-50 and get at least a pack or so. Whereas to get in at a card shop itd be like $200. Or like it's a break where you get a whole team. Or a gamble break where you can take a whole box or more if your pack has the lowest number or whatever preset conditions were met. Sometimes it's worth it. To take a whole box or case by pulling the lowest numbered card. If somebody doesn't have the money to buy boxes and boxes they can come up. I would do it if it was a set I liked or trying to get some low number card.
Because more often than not people don’t chase cards of all teams just certain players or teams

this is a space where NFTs actually have a use case. No scams. Transparent supply.
hes def doing SOMETHING, there is no reason at all to be fumbling around like that and taking the cards off camera all before showing the actual card
I don’t think he went into the break intending to make a swap but had a lapse in judgement, wasn’t ready to pull it off, fumbled a bit, gave up.
You think that because youre not that smart. You're wrong BTW.
@@eatyourmarvel6186 😂Jeff is that you?
Jeff did you dip lol
Oh he swapped it alright !!
We’re gonna get alot of mileage from “you dip?” Hell I use it at random times now, mostly with my wife and she looks at me like I’m stupid
How cool was it they interviewed dippin Daniel himself lol
Is he sure he never pulled a jalen waddle? It sounds like he has def pulled a jalen wabble before
It does almost seem like he's projecting. it's the first thing he says, and follows that with how it shouldn't be graded due to issues with the bottom edge or whatever. 🤔
Soon as cards leave the camera you better believe shady shit is happening no ifs ands or buts
100% facts
This is exactly why most "big name" breakers use at least 2 cameras. Its a simple thing called transparency. I know it wouldn't catch everything, but a "bird's-eye" view would be helpful.
Shocking a guy breaking retail would be a scammer.
........this "hobby" is just chok-full-a blockheads
STOP buying into breaks people and this all goes away!!! It amazes me how flustered these guys get and how they don't know what to do with themselves even after ripping thousands of packs of cards when they see a little shine in the pack in hand.
Unfortunately the hobby and secondary market have made if near impossible for the averaged income collector to purchase some of higher tear products. Whether they do it for an investment or grow a collection, for some, the only way they can have a once in forever chance of pulling a top rookie RPA or solething like that would be to buy a spot in a break. So really we should be careful just throwing shade at all breakers and stearing ppl away. Buy instead encourage and even promote breakers like pacman or Layton sports cards or idk any of
The big ones that you’ve watched and feel comfortable with. But if someone consistently gets put on blast for potentially scamming and idiots still buy from them? Yeah they’re dumb. No one deserves to get scammed but for fuck sake of the waiter days careful plates hot andddyaadooittttanyways!!! Then burn bitch. Bye
the human psychology here is fascinating. if you read between the lines in the apology note at 4:11, the breaker justifies stealing the card because it was a new client, only “in his second break”. so the customer didn’t deserve the card anyway, because they had not spent enough money breaking with him yet. amazing how the mind of a thief can always justify the theft.
Your right! And to add to that, he also said that new customer in only his 2nd break, AND he already gotten a Downtown refractor “ so that’s him sayin even more a reason lol
It's amazing how far off you are -----> He's not admitting to stealing for 1. #2 - He wasn't saying the "client" was new and undeserving of the card = He was saying he was excited for the purchaser because they were new and had some super good luck so his reaction was due to his excitement for the individual he was ripping for. ..... with that being said - He totally f'd up and even "if" he didn't DIP = he's still hella sus for his unprofessionalism . Big pass from this degen
Taking the cards off camera for a couple of seconds would be bad enough but for that long is just inviting extremely well deserved criticism. I don't care what reasons are given after the fact from being nervous to I made a horrible yet honest mistake if there was nothing shady happening his own alarm bells in his head would be going off after a second or 2
I know like 30 seconds lol what a tool
I don't feel like it was the same card you don't see the background all the way to the edges like that. Definitely not the same card if you ask me. The cards should never leave the screen.
I thought the same until I noticed the sand on the bottom right while it was still in the pack stack before taking off camera. He then flips the stack not revealing the left edge which would be the side the water runs off of it. So it's the same card maybe just a switch of the same downtown
@@ryancoleman1 Its a different card, its not the water, its just the silver we see... If he was switching it for the "same downtown" He wouldnt of pulled all of this fuckery he would of just done it post break off camera as he controls which 1 he mails to you, no need to "switch" that on camera... he def switched the cards to a lesser waddle..
Brandon cooks straight dippin!!!
“I’ve never pulled a Jaylen Waddle” x 4
Hahahaha, the guy should definitely practice his heist before going live next time!
You missed the chance to say "or was he doing something "DOWN TOWN" where we couldnt see. Lol
Ya dip bro. Yes it seems way to shady and you definitely can see him switching out a card. He was pressing a little hard so that the other back card wouldn't move.
People stop paying people to steal your money and just open card's for yourself. Everyone has at least 3-5 different store's near them walmart, target, toy's are us, and Myers ect. We also have ebay, internet to access walmart, target and online stores to purchase a box 📦.
you definitely can? where? Its VERY VERY hard to see the reflection. You have some imaging tech that we dont have? lets see it! This is FAR from clear evidence.
@@moby1kanob He took it off camera! That's all the evidence that's needed. Stop defending these clowns.
Regardless it doesn’t take that long to reveal a card that WAS ACTUALLY pack pulled
Yeah, it would've only taken a second to show the card, but he goes on and on about being nervous and he hopes it's not a Fields and it takes him forever. So, yeah, very fishy and I'm inclined to believe he swapped it out.
wondering how the card got stuck after it was moving freely ???
Crooks. Why would you risk your reputation for a few extra dollars.
The fact that his brain is a puddle and cant put a coherent sentence together screams he was focusing on something else- dont think penn and teller should be worried about their day jobs yet
I’ve said it many times in my videos. How people continue to send money to these two-bit breakers is beyond me.
Barrier to entry is so small. Half of them have terrible setups. You’re practically begging to be scammed. They ruin it for the breakers that are good people.
PS sports card scammer tracker is a 🐐 page. Shouted that out many times.
I'm a two bit breaker and I don't steal anyone's cards. You can't just lump everyone in to one pile. You know that right?
@@Justintime2grow I think you misunderstood. If you don’t steal peoples cards you’re not a two bit breaker.
@@DanTheCardMan2 No I understand what you said. I don't think you do though. Two bit means insignificant, small time, low volume. It has zero implications to stealing. People that steal are just called thieves.
@@Justintime2grow I know what I said.
@@Justintime2grow cheap or trivial. I.e. horrible camera set ups, lightning, too many questions can be asked.
I was waiting for him to come back on camera with a Baker Mayfield downtown 😬
I personally think their was 2 downtowns and he kept one , I have seen a few times where there has been multiple in a hanger box by accident …I mean he knows good and well he needs to have the cards in the camera and anyone that don’t loses all credibility …hope no one breaks with him again
That's what I thought too. Replacing one DT for another seems silly, although when he kept saying "I hope it's not a Fields," I thought for sure he was going to come on camera & it would be a Fields.
But 2 DTs in the same hanger makes the most sense to me too.
the reason why it's bad is because, yeah he took it off camera, but he also waited to announce what the card was until he brought it back (or found the replacement for it). If it was Waddle, he could/should have said that from the start. Only reason to stay silent that long is cuz he was searching for the replacement and didn't know what it was gonna be yet, imo.
That breaker is def shady, cause you do NOT take the cards off the screen that long. There is no freaking excuse for that, every break knows this!!!
He fumbled that card worse than Waddle fumbled against the Vikings
As much as that still has sting to it for a guy who had a parlay with all dogs on the $line with the Jets, Falcons, Giants & the lone loser being Miami I'm getting a damn good laugh from that 😆
shaking my head. I can't even stand when breakers peak what the card is before we see it. Like those that are able to do so that we all see at the same time. I don't mind the slow roll but of course do so with cards on camera.
Ugh...I'm a breaker and really want to do well and do right, but situations like this along with other shadiness just make things difficult. Please continue to show these videos and force the standard to be high.
Yes exactly.Anyone that started or wants to start doing breaks these situations make it harder for them because of people will not want to buy with any new breaker.
Get ready to lose your ass in money for about the first 6 months until you develop your reputation and feedback on Ebay. I've been doing breaks for just over a year and things were tough starting out.
Breakers are such losers, on many levels
@@jmc_-im6sd easy
@@slayerde440 why? Because most breakers I've seen are solely in it for the money. They don't even know the names of players, it ANYTHING beyond the value. It drives prices up and will further continue ruining the industry. My dad had a baseball card shop when I was a kid. He feels the same... SMH
I don't see any logical reason for that breaker to take the downtown off screen for so long....
Bro did u see the marked pack pull !??
Rule #1 of groups breaks- NEVER take cards off camera or else all is lost
Bro this guy has the exact same setup as I do for breaking on whatnot with the wall case in the background. That was scary. 😂😂
Lol
the fact that people get excited about downtowns is how sad our hobby has gotten too lol Would have been a 50 dollar insert a few years ago
Soon as that card went off camera , all integrity of that breaker was lost. Don’t care if it was the same card or not as we will never know for certain. You can blame it on emotions or whatever but you can’t take the card off camera. If he was so worried about it being stuck , should of shown the back of the DT first so all there knew who it was beforehand.
Thief, you should never take the cards off camera, then for that long.
Any time a valuable card is pulled out of a pack I think the person who bought into the break or spot should receive full comp value in cash of the best variant of that card in the set. If it gets taken off camera we can only speculate that there was ill intent.
Look i do breaks. And the etiquette is simple. All cards, all packs and all boxes. Stay in view of the camera at all times. Period end of story. The second it goes off screen, it leaves the opportunity for dishonesty. Pretty simple even if it seems crowded all that stuff on camera. I never wanna be in a position like this. I understand people arent perfect. But if this were my break, he would be done breaking with me
The only possible reasonable exception is an unopened box. If the wrapping is still on it, that’s the key. The minute the wrapping is off, it definitely can’t be off screen.
Sorry if I'm repeating this but I just saw the video. The card was clearly switched out. Look at time 1:30 then 3:05. The 1/4 inch exposed at 1:30 is clearly different than the edges on the Jaylen Waddle card....
keep calling out these breakers. Good work
This is an example of why everyone should not be in business. It takes more than reselling at more than you paid. Sole proprietor and small LLC needs to know business math and understand that small means you need to build trust, you don't have corporate money to buy it. When your break looks like a rigged carnival game you can't build trust. Breaking is going to change at some point to another corporate run monopoly. The bigger breakers aren't acting legit, more like funneling cards to family and friends on the dime of others. Now is not the time for sloppy presentations. It was strange not seeing or hearing packs opened
Keep exposing them!!!!... Love this channel scr
For real
He says I never pulled a jaylen waddle first.. doesn't even make sense.. then he says haven't pulled one before
Instand of wasting your money on stupid sports card. Save your money for raining day. 2023 is going be ugly people 😁
I used to think you were a pot stirrer, the more I watch the more I think you're actually a great person looking out for the best interest of others, Thank you for your videos. You're definitely NOT A DIP 🙂
No he definitely is a pot stirrer
@@jamieprivett5033 if he's telling the truth I'd never have a problem with him
It was %100 swapped. You can tell by zooming in on the border of the card when first revealed. Before for no reason he flips the cards upside down. The waddles has a blue wave and orange color going the full extension to the border. The sliver of the side you see on the reveal doesnt have the blue wave and orange extension to the edge.
I was going to say the same thing.. there is NO WAY that the Waddle was the original card.
Why ya dip Daniel?
Brandin Cooks is now the official Patron Saint of “dippin” breaks.
Dip sitch for sure. He’s not exactly Robert De Niro when he says the line “I never pulled the Jaylen waddle brother”
Forget all that... dude pulled BO JACKSON and acted like it wasn't a thing... DUDE EVERY BO JACKSON IS A THING.
I collected as a little kid in the 80s…all the LCS opened packs and resealed them. Killed my love for the hobby and they all went out of business. Then these breakers 😂.
I order all of my cards through the Topps site and fanatics (only collect Topps). None of these greasy neckbeards are getting in between me and my cards.
The only thing I use them for are PSA submissions and I do my own inspections. I’ll buy a few loose packs when I’m there to patronize them for the service but that’s it. They could all disappear tomorrow, card shops and breakers, and the hobby would be better for it.
That made me stressed, if a breaker moves cards off camera for 1 sec people flip out, that was super shady
That was painful to watch.
First instinct when Flustered/nervous is I’ll take the cards off camera
Shut up
Sweat, sweat, sweat
If you look at his personal collection in the back ground, he has many downtown inserts. My guess, He swapped with an extra one he had.
He was about to steal what he was hoping would be a big player. It turned out to be Waddle so he didn't pull off the scam but was thinking about it, hence the extreme nervousness.
@Clint Clinty he was definitely about to scam for one reason or another. That's why he took the cards off camera and was extremely nervous.
@Clint Clinty 😂
Seriously any breaker that takes a big card of the camera for that long is only setting themselves up. Huge red flag
You can tell its a different downtown, there is a hint of a straight line or edge of a sign near his finger, so if the card was flipped it would have part of a billboard on the upper right
The border on the first card is complete all the way down. The Waddle art goes all the way to the edge so they can't be the same card.
1:40 you say on the record the guy zoom in on the card it’s not the right card on the edge edge of the card you can see the difference he zoomed in on the card more likely swap them out and y’all can see and the reflection he’s on the computer typing probably look that up whatever we gotten that pack Looked it up on eBay , like you said, his other hand went underneath the table and like he tossed that card on the table
What the hell is wrong with these people? The greed....
With all the scams going on I don't believe he was honest. People nowadays need to understand the hobby is not like it use to be in the past. Kids want to get the biggest card by all means. This is just another scammer that needs to go.
The way he talked made him sound super guilty
I think breakers are the dumbest freakin thing I've ever seen. I don't understand the craze at all.
I don’t know why this was recommended to me.
But I can say it’s super odd he’s super announcing “I’ve never pulled this card! I’ve never pulled a waddle”
All I heard was “this card couldn’t have been pulled from under my desk because I’ve never gotten one before!”
At most I think people should take that in to consideration. if your going to be in a break with him and he takes cards off camera you should be refunded for that position unless your ok with what you got. This way he's more aware of what he's doing as well as your protecting against what could be a scam
I don’t believe he swapped it. Look at the card closely when he first reveals the side. It’s upside down and the right side of the card imaging matches what we see on the Waddle card.
Ya I know. Keep defending these clowns.
That was so obvious and the length of time it took him to get the card unstuck... C'mon this guy is a criminal...
It's a different card lol. We see the side of the card before he shows the waddle and we can see straight optic pattern sides. The waddle has coral basically all the way to the end of the side. If it was the same card, we would have seen the coral art on the side since it goes out further then what we were shown.
It wasn't stuck to the previous card, takes it off camera for no reason, then keeps it off for a minute. Even bumped the camera reaching under the table. Thief. What does it matter. Every proven thief still gets people to buy into breaks. People are idiots and get what they deserve.
Taking cards off screen is obviously a big No NO in the breaking biz, however I will say that after comparing all the Downtown cards, the only card that matches the edge shown at the 1:40 mark is the Jaylen Waddle. Focus on the Coral and the ground for comparison (the card is upside down for reference).
I think the part where he repeatedly says “I’ve never pulled a Jaylen waddle” makes me believe he has, in fact, pulled a Jaylen waddle.
I want to thank you, brother! Because years ago, i considered entering Live Breaks, but your videos was one of the few that I spotted exposing these losers! The only live break I have ever been in was at the local shop in Jacksonville, Florida and it was in person and it was straight up! Because of your videos, I refused to enter any live breaks, with the exception of one guy, who I am heavily considering paying for a spot in his live breaks and that's the popular TH-camr "RuGoodLife."
Comparing the side of the dipped card to the waddle it’s not the same card. 100% swapped it.
What keeps breakers from slicing open the bottom of the packs and replacing the best cards?
The card was definitely not stuck as you can see in the video the card was like 1/4 inch away from the top card then he slides it back to flush with card agin he def tried to switch or did switch took to long and made to many movements before sliding the card on table
You can see it’s a different card because if you look at the original, you can see a part of a football on the left side, and the waddle doesn’t have that.
The most hilarious, most consistent thing that all these breaker scammers have in common, is when their pullin off the scam, or heist, they repeat themselves 😂😂😂 “ya dip Daniel”.. “I’m so excited idk what to do” and “sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat” and who could ever forget “Brandon cooks, of 99” 😂😂😂😂 it’s like they natural instinct while they pullin off that cruddy sht is to try to keep talkin to insure the viewers their still on camera cuz we can hear em, but we can’t seeee u no more dummiiiiieeeeessss 😂😂😂😂
Crap like that is mostly why I quit particularly in breaks. I had a questionable incident happen to me with a Mac Jones card before the season started so I messaged the breaker several times with no response then they finally replied and said it wasn’t Mac Jones so I then contacted Whatnot and they supposedly sent the video to the breaker to review (I asked them send me the video or review the video themselves and they did neither) and of course the breaker said he never pulled a Mac Jones and the card they sent to me was the right one. I still think they screwed me over.
As far as I could see, the card was not stuck to the one in front of it in any way.
If it was, we never would have seen the edge of it as he slid the top card over a bit.
I just love how he straight up says iv never pulled a waddle downtown over and over..🤔🤔 and he grabs the downtown on purpose! He feels for it and grabs the 2 cards!!!
Yeah - like there’s no way I’m swapping this out bc I’ve never ever pulled a Waddle before wink, wink
Pulling a downtown would be awesome but I can’t even find optic packs bro
This hobby has had people like this in it for decades. I remember back in 1989 when the owner of a local sports card shop, sold me a few packs of Upper Deck football and I pulled two inserts that were obviously new and hadn't yet been listed in Beckett. He literally offered me(immediately) $5 for each insert. I refused, the cards came out in Beckett a few weeks later at $50.00. Now, I was new to the hobby back then, but still, the nerve of that guy to believe that I was desperate for money, so he decided to low-ball me and offer m $5 for each card, "knowing" their worth! I eventually entered the U.S. Navy and wherever I was stationed, the first thing I did was look for a local shop. After that guy, I literally started to test shop owners, by trying to sell cards, I knew already knew what they were worth, just to test them and see if they are honest. I despise people like that! Just be honest and straight up with people.
