@thomasfuchs I bet the fraud is worse than is reported. The production limits during the pandemic brought out the worst in people and the scalpers have sucked the joy out of cardboard acquisition. I've had luck buying from long-standing brick & mortar stores (vs individuals) through TCGplayer but for special cards they charge a premium.
I'm tempted to catch back up with ETBs and spend some relaxing time re-sorting cards, but with in-person events canceled during the pandemic, my kids moved on.
