Wow Agree Mark !! These guys, the cutters, look for oversized cards to Slice and Dice. |
Thanks for the warm welcome guys...sincerely appreciate it! I've been working on videos on the trimming and altering fraud for months and plan to continue. There are times when I am stuck because of a lack of knowledge about the Hobby and it would be helpful to have some help from the users here during those moments. Thanks again!

This Board has lamented on the apparent lack of knowledge of this scandal by the general collecting public, and has theorized what significantly increased public knowledge might have on the market value of high grade PSA-slabbed cards. Have you ever considered reaching out to 60 minutes or some similar journalistic outlet about this matter? If a national news company was to air your video, augmented by additional reporting, that could generate public exposure of sufficient magnitude to be a catalyst to significantly advance the weeding out this fraud and bringing to justice those involved. |

My own system (for PSA cards anyhow) makes me wonder if it's even worth it, it's such a PITA.
1. If offered by certain sellers, stop right there. 2. If serial number on PSA website shows first sale by certain sellers, stop right there. 3. Review scan thoroughly and if any doubt, pass. 4. If significant card, ask a couple of people whose opinions I value. 5. If still in the game at that point, check my spreadsheet of outed cards to see if in range suggesting it's likely from the same sub. If yes, probably stop or at least look into surrounding certs for anything suspicious. 6. Even if not in range of any outed card, if significant card, check surrounding certs for anything suspicious. Ridiculous it's come to this. |
I’ve been saying this for over a year now.....It’s much better for me to be card/slabbed card less then cash less. I could care less if I missed any upside....My personal opinion is everything is priced in and topped out if I miss it so be it I do not like this market’s current state one bit.....it’s much better to have cash on the sidelines then any slabs.

I find REA To have the most integrity of all major/large auction houses. Everyone is criticizing them with having graded altered cards....why isn’t anyone placing blame/criticizing PSA. PSA hasn’t had to answer for anything .....it’s a double standard and total BS |

I read through the entire thread and in addition to the Cheevers card, there was some VERY ENLIGHTENING BIT OF NEWS IF TRUE (maybe the bubble has finally burst and they see this as their only way of surviving as a business): "A PSA representative told a collector at the Chicago show this weekend that they don't issue refunds for altered cards. Last week, PSA returned a collector's proven trimmed card in the same PSA 10 slab that was sent in to receive compensation under their Grade Guarantee. They were told to seek a refund from the seller. The only problem is the card has quadrupled in value since they purchased it. Good responses there when PSA doesn't even want to acknowledge or honor their Grade Guarantee." https://www.blowoutforums.com/showpo...2&postcount=59 I'd be curious if anyone else had heard about this stance allegedly held by PSA? Any comments regardless? |
Quote:
REA is definitely one of the best out there...but it's at the point where there are so many altered cards in slabs that practically every big auction is apt to feature known altered cards in very auction from this point forward. So aside from stating in the auction listing that card is suspected/shown to be altered so bid accordingly...I'm not sure what could be done. |

It seems PSA only cares about the major altering business rather than collectors. This is disgraceful another depressing page turns sour. |

That would be very interesting to watch. Because if PWCC is honoring its guarantees (by accepting returns) but PSA is not............ |

Yes it is just an opinion but isn't there supposed to be a guarantee behind that opinion? And if alterations to a card can be proven (meaning, if it can be proven PSA gave cards high grades they did not merit) then would that teflon coating hold up? |

Unfortunately I see nothing changing people are addicted to the slab they either don’t know or don’t care....it’s all a crying shame. Grading was supposed to give a buyer Confidence and Peace of Mind when purchasing a expensive card....all it seems to do now is facilitate the bad actors. What a disgrace |

The PSA Guarantee of Grade and Authenticity This policy is fundamental to PSA's concept of third-party grading. It ensures the accuracy of the grade assigned to any PSA-graded card as long as the card remains in its tamper-evident holder. PSA also guarantees that all cards submitted to it shall be graded in accordance with PSA grading standards and under the procedures of PSA. https://www.psacard.com/about/whypsa/ and checking their Grading Standards, they still regard these modifications as ungradable: PSA will not grade cards that bear evidence of trimming, re-coloring, restoration, or any other forms of tampering, or are of questionable authenticity. https://www.psacard.com/resources/gr...andards/#cards So legally, (although I'm not a lawyer) I can't see how they can weasel their way out of this and I'd recommend that all PSA collectors to print out the guarantee and Ungradable Card grading standards for their own protection for future disputes. |
