Last week a worst-case scenario happened that many people
who buy in to breaks worry about. The breaker, in this case Dustin Clay of DnT
Sports, stole a major hit and while he was called out on it and did own up to
it the card he is claiming he attempted to steal is not the card that was stolen.
Here is the video with a narration to point out how it
happened:
00:20 seconds He opens the box, notices the huge hit, closes
the lid to hide it and slides it out so nobody can see.
00:25 seconds He sets the major hit on the edge of the table
00:30 seconds Opens the pack, keeps talking about the Mister
Brandon Cooks #/99 card
00:49 seconds Slides the box bottom to the left, you can
hear the major hit card fall
1:00 You hear him fiddling through encased cards while he
searches for a card to replace the major hit
1:09 Moves the bottom of the box over the screen
1:22 Removes the box bottom and you can see that there are
two cards stacked up differently than they were originally
1:25 Claims he was answering an email to explain him not
paying attention
1:34 Shows the Kerry Collins autograph, which is the card he
uses to replace the major hit
1:45 The viewer, who was recording the break on his phone,
switches to the comments section where people watching also figured out the
switch and stolen card
Now that this was caught and went viral Dustin Clay came out
on a FB group and admitted what he did and claims the card he stole was an
Ezekiel Elliot Autographed Honors card. Here is his post:
People have gone to Sherlock Holmes extent to figure out
what card he actually stole using one of the few images of the card. It is
obvious that the card is not the EZE auto card because those cards are all
white along the top edge while this card has a white border down one side and
darker (blue?) along the rest of the card. Currently the three cards that keep
coming up as the card potentially stolen is
1998 Playoff Contenders Tickets Peyton Manning
2000 Playoff Contenders Ticket Tom Brady
2012 Playoff Contenders Ticket Andrew Luck
Here is the 2016 Autographed Honors EZE card for comparison to show it is not the card he claims the card was that he took.
Dustin Clay has since shut down his social media accounts and
deleted videos but some people have done some diligent work and came up with
quite a bit of his personal information, but I won’t include that, but I will
include his eBay account because I am sure many people will be watching to see
if a high dollar card shows up.
Somebody has already done a DnT scam spoof video, short but funny
Wow. That's not even very slick. You think he would have practiced doing this a little bit first if he was going to try to get away with such a scam.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that is pretty lame.
ReplyDeleteCrazy. Is that an old Score card he tried replacing it with? Hehehe. Love the parody video.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say. This kind of thing happens more often than it should. I participate in group breaks from time to time, but usually stick to a small group of breakers who I perceive as being honest after watching many of their breaks.
ReplyDeleteThere are too many small-time guys using other people's money to subsidize cases until they pull a big hit they can steal before disappearing.
This kind of stuff frustrates me on so many levels. You've gotta wonder how many people have entered his breaks over the years and how many people have been ripped off. Plus... it sounds like he's a father of a baby or maybe he's an older brother... either way... what kind of role model is this guy for the kid? He is forever blackballed from his hobby... and for what? A $5,000 Brady rookie card for a lifetime of guilt, shame, and embarrassment? Worst deal ever. The only good thing that can possibly come out of this story is hopefully it'll discourage other shady people from ruining their character with very poor choices.
