>Card collector Mark Li says he knows firsthand what it’s like to be victimized.
>Li says he was attacked in October, while trying to sell two cards worth around $20,000 through Facebook Marketplace.
>After meeting two people he believed were buyers outside a Burnaby home, he says the situation quickly escalated.
>“After they could tell my cards were legit, one of the suspects was like, ‘get him,’” Li told CTV News.
>He says he managed to grab onto one of the thieves he describes as teenagers, but was pepper-sprayed and temporarily blinded before the suspects took off with the cards.
Now I’m in no way saying this guy deserved to be robbed, but what the fuck was he thinking meeting two randoms he don’t know, at a strange house, with 20k in Pokemon cards he advertised on FB Marketplace?
Common sense was on back order when they made this guy.

$20k deal made on fb marketplace for an item that can fit in your pocket and meeting is in front of a house. This is insane, deal should have been done at a police station.
