Today's video is a short rant about the danger of corner-clipping to Alpha collectors. Too many people worry about re-backing, but corner clipping a beta card is so easy to do, and the potential profit to a scammer even from commons and uncommons is so large, that everyone should be on alert.

There's also a text channel in the server for sharing questionable cards and comparing notes. Check out these links, courtesy of discord user "Library of Leng"
