I remember working at a Pokemon Fan Day. 2008, I believe.
I was patrolling the grounds where everyone was trading, making sure the older folks gave the kids fair deals, picking out fakes, the works.
At one point, I see a little boy with a binder filled with expensive cards (at that time - LA just got released). Mespirit X, Gardevoir SW, Claydols, the works.
You guessed it, all fake.
I had to tell the boy and his father that we couldn't allow him to trade the fakes. The dad went all berserk on me, going "I BOUGHT A TICKET HERE AND NOW YOU'RE RUINING MY DAY" and stomped off in anger.
I really felt for that kid.
