PWCC at the National?
 
Did they have the balls to show up? No pun intended.

Peter_Spaeth 07-29-2019 11:57 AM

Business as usual, probably.

Pwcc
 
Betsy is on the dealers list for tables 965 970 972 1064.

Peter_Spaeth 07-29-2019 02:05 PM

Conserved assets and tenets. Maybe the Wizard of Os(z)wego himself will be there.

darwinbulldog 07-29-2019 02:15 PM

I'm missing the pun.

Emanating from the Emerald Shores of Lake Oswego, lies the great establishment known as PWCC. And their fearless leader, Brent is the "Wizard of Ozwego".

I'd dismantle every Mantle
Recolor every Play Ball
Trim each and every Leaf

With the cards I'm conservin'
I'd be even more unnervin'
If I only had some bleach.

Move over, Burkett.

HRBAKER 07-29-2019 02:43 PM

Peter_Spaeth 07-29-2019 02:44 PM

Trim and recolor and bleach, OH MY

But what does that have to do with balls?

I guess it just referenced Baseballs in general, being it's the National... Richard will have to clarify.

Sorry- I thought you were asking about the Wizard of Ozwego moniker. :o

Given attendance numbers at the National, do most attendees care or know what PWCC has been up to? Does the National care since their stake is to sell as many tables at the highest rate possible? The people that care the most are likely in the minority.

tables wee sold out for this upcoming national before the last national even ended last year...long before this scandal broke.

Wizards aside.

I still get a thrill up my leg when listening to Betsy’s rendition of “Hopelessly Devoted To You” in new show “Fleece” introducing Gary Moser actually singing “You’re The One That I Want” and “I Can’t Give You Anything But Bleach, Babe” to a Goudey baseball card,:eek: with Julie Andrews in a vocal cameo appearance singing “Trim Trimmany”.

I also understand that PSA is countering with their own stage production directed by J. Orlando featuring Harrison Ford in “The Graders of the Lost Ark” based on a true story of greed and lust.

The word on the street though should be disappointing for Brent and Joe though as neither has been nominated for a lifetime achievement award.:(

“Singing In The Rain” was low hanging fruit, but “Soak Gets In Their Eyes” was considered.;)

rdwyer 07-29-2019 05:09 PM

Balls = Baseballs

So are they there at the national? PWCC was a no show at the Long Beach coin expo because of the scandal. I sure wouldn't be nice walking by their booths.

question is...will PWCC be at the national(I believe they will) and if so...will their "representation" be sitting there with them????

I don't believe it has actually started yet.

Ahhhh… great question!

They might need him there, to combat and overcome the dreaded "Foot in Mouth" disease. ;)

JackW 07-29-2019 05:37 PM

how has the national been so far?

frankbmd 07-29-2019 05:38 PM

I fear that those who are hopelessly devoted to Brent will be in the majority.

The scanner on entry to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center is 83% effective in detecting and preventing entry of pitchforks as well

But wouldn't it be cool if PWCC had one of those vacuum tube things so that you could deposit your assets directly into the Vault from Chicago?

Wow. Of course I'll need a fee if you decide to do it.;)

Percentage of people at the National who care about only the money 80%
Percentage of people at the National who care about only the cards and people/old friends 20%

The hobby went to hell 25 years ago it’s been a crooked industry every since

darwinbulldog 07-29-2019 07:37 PM

Weird that 0% of people at a gathering of card collectors care about both cards and money.

New math, Glenn. The folks you are speaking of are in the second 100%.

Figures lie and liars figure. If you don’t believe me, just keep checking those Pop Reports.:D

When I went I cared about the cards, money, and meeting up with friends, fellow collectors, and hobby acquaintances. I'm quite certain I wasn't the only one. The same would have held true had I been able to attend this year.

+1 These are pretty much the only reasons I am going. I don't expect to find anything to buy but I will look and try. Actually, the cards are the least reason I am going. It's about seeing old friends and hanging out and having some fun in the hobby like I used to. :)
As for PWCC being there, they might be. Not a big deal to me. I hope this whole debacle gets taken care of eventually. There does need to be some punitive punishment somewhere imo. Time to show a new pick up from the BST....and duly noted in this month's pickups too.

Let's not forget the Wolverine musical they are going to be doing starring Gary Moser.

Brent has been on the floor both days so far at the PWCC booth.

I spoke to several dealers, no one mentioned the scandal. Though some guys on the flight was mentioning it on the modern side.

SO PSA was right...its only a small minority of complainers.

Someone posted a picture on Twitter of their corporate booth. It looks a little sparse if you ask me.

rdwyer 08-01-2019 04:55 PM

Check out the vault. I was expecting something else.

perezfan 08-01-2019 05:07 PM

It was a rather “out of the way” location, and was not at all crowded by any means.

The booth was indeed sparse, but most of the cards on display in the “vault” were killers (Black Swamp, etc.). Seemed like everything was kept very low key, with no signs whatsoever of complaints, protest or turmoil. You’d never suspect any scandal or legal matters were brewing.

Peter_Spaeth 08-01-2019 05:13 PM

Step right up and get some investment advice from the Wizard.

Aquarian Sports Cards 08-01-2019 05:39 PM

I really wish I was there. I'd have hundreds of reprints of the Washington post article that would get conveniently left all over the place. Not just the convention floor, but hotels, restaurants etc.

MULLINS5 08-01-2019 06:17 PM

That's a terrible looking setup, but I give her credit for showing up with all that's going on.

What a clown. Sloan and Orlando? Are you joking?
They are on the NASDAQ !! Whats wrong with you?

The whole Wizard of Oz cast is fine but leave PSA out
of it they simply assess the card given to them they
can not know what it looked like yesterday !!

Like Brent, Mosher and whoever else could even make it
worthwhile$$ for PSA to be in on the scheme? PSA
could get ALL of Mosher's profits and it would be a
drop in the bucket for them?
Why dont Casinos use loaded dice or a stacked deck?
Because they dont need to the game is already
fixed you silly gooses!

Might also be a good idea to inform some of the customers that are milling around there about what is happening in our hobby.
