If the PWCC evidence of corruption doesn't dwarf anything else we've seen, I honestly cannot think of what beats it. Maybe Operation Bullpen, where the FBI exposed the Marino Family?
But this case isn't nearly put to bed! On BO, they are continuing to unearth new examples every day, with no end currently in sight.... Often to the tune of 5-figures PER CARD. The Marinos were creating fake Mantles that sold for a couple hundred bucks each. That's chump change compared to what's being exposed as we speak.

In terms of the EVIDENCE that has been outed, yes, for sure. But that's a different question than the corruption itself. My opinion is that there are AHs who have sold vast amounts of very high dollar altered cards that could easily compete with PWCC. But the ability to track those does not exist absent certs from the TPGs going back to 1991. I think what you're seeing now in all its glory is mostly the low-hanging fruit.
