How To Avoid Sports Card Scams On Etsy

Dude, I don't care if you're already judging me for the title of this. Yes, I buy sports cards on Etsy. 🙂  I'm all about any place where you can find undervalued or even reasonably priced sports cards, especially those that are already slabbed by PSA.  Which is why I've been super cautious recently with listings I've seen from Etsy sellers specifically listing well known modern vintage cards like the 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan  Rookie and the 1996 Topps Kobe Bryant Rookie in PSA 10 for less than $1,000 USD.  At first, these listings made my heart beat almost as fast as the first time I kissed my wife.  Then, I remembered that when things seem too good to be true, they typically are. But before I walked away, I did some research.  First, I Google'd "Etsy Sports Card Scams," but couldn't find anything. Then, I researched Etsy's buyer protection policy, but couldn't find much that made me feel good about risking my hard earned money on a potential scam.
