@PaydayPsyduck asks
meeting someone for a card. Is it awkward to check it properly before handing over money?
Jeff answers
I'd agree in advance that you'll inspect the actual card before completing the purchase. Use an appropriate, well-lit public meeting place and allow enough time. Bring the reference details you need. A calm inspection is a normal part of buying an item whose identity and condition matter.
