Stepping Up To the Plate To Fight Fraud
 
As the author of the monster number thread, the only credible alternative to the PSA Registry, I propose the following.

If your Monster Is totally ungraded, l will double your Monster Number.

If your Monster is graded, either start cracking or your Monster Number will be reduced by 50%.

If your Monster is also part of the PSA Registry, you be be deleted and permanently blackballed from future participation,

Tough love, but necessary in these troubled times.

Do I get bonus points for having a mix of ungraded, BVG, SGC, and PSA cards?

It's a DGAD (don't give a damn) graded Monster.

My Monster Number just doubled!


It's still 0.

How bout anything above a grade 5 or 6 gets a declining score. Extra points for wide borders and tabacky stains.

If a card is in three pieces, it counts as three monster numbers. Seems only fair.

All 518 of mine are ungraded in a binder…

I just went from first to 0!! Although I do have plenty of t206s in SGC flips too so maybe I can get back to 200+/-

Ryan,

C’mon man!!!

Even Babe Ruth’s home runs landed.

I will sneakily reduce my Monster Number by the 10 or so graded cards that I have, just so I can claim the double bonus. Of course I will not announce that I doing this, because I don't want to be caught with my fingers in the Monster Number cookie jar.

This is the only PSA card in my set

I think I am safe from PSA fraud.

I collected the set of 520 raw in 1984-86 and they are still that way. If we are going with Brian and Ryan's suggestions, I am at 1200, 600x2.

Gentlemen, we are combatting fraud, not endorsing it. The lines in the sand have been drawn and it is not windy.:D

I only have raw. Current count is 133, so now it will be 266.

Here's a quick shot of the HOFers.

atx840 05-31-2021 01:20 PM

I think my daughter (13) has 100ish raw, and that again in SGC slabs.

Frank you just made her whole week :cool:

Are there any extra points for an ungraded tougher back with two backs showing?

Luckily I have so many that if we forgot my graded cards existed, My monster number would be about the same with just my raw cards anyways. But I'm ready to start cracking if we were one day forced to evacuate with no return and were only allowed to bring one back pack of personal items. It would consist of all my T206's, silver, gold, ziploc of rare postage stamps, and my medications. Some thumb drives too. Hopefully there would be computers and electricity where we would be taken. Sorry junk wax and comic books :D Yeah, I'm watching too many YouTube video's lately.

Casey2296 06-01-2021 08:46 PM

I'm thinking there's a Walking Dead episode here where the undead sniff out trimmed/altered cards and unleash their carnivoric (is that even a word?) desires on the owners of these gem mint 10 cards.

Ole buddy......my All - PIEDMONT set comprises of 522 different cards (510 ungraded + 12 graded).

Therefore, if I crack-out the 12 graded cards, do I win your Double Award ?
