Again, I have addressed this from my first very post here. See previous statement. That people believe the Authenticator that signs off on a lie or is complicit in a conspiracy, does not make it not fraud. That would be utterly nonsensical. Getting away with fraud past an expert does not absolve the crime in any other case that I can think of.

That the fraudster gets it by an expert and people then subsequently take the experts word does not make it not fraud. Very obviously. |

Construct a poll to determine how many set registry guys would give up cards if they knew they were trimmed. I would bet more would keep them than not.

I can only imagine how many fraudsters in prison would love to learn this information. If you fool someone, it becomes okay. That makes sense. |

Even if we assume that the registry owners wouldn't remove the PSA 9 from the set, all it proves is that registry owners will act in their self-interest and carry on the ruse for reputation and money, rather than take the bullet for the original card doctor and the corrupt and/or negligent third-party grader. Instead of polling registry owners to see how many would give up the cards they knew were trimmed, poll them to see how many would replace the outed PSA 9 with a legit one, if presented with the option at no additional cost. Or ask how many would've paid the same price for the outed PSA 9 if they had known it was trimmed. Those kinds of questions are a better gauge of materiality for fraud purposes. The counterargument that slabbing changes the perception of value doesn't negate the materiality element of fraud; it speaks more to damages. Last edited by gunboat82; 01-13-2024 at 04:53 AM.

The reality though is that it's not just a few cards here or there. It's the majority of cards in every top registry set on the entire PSA registry. It's all a facade. Every single one of those cards are either laughably over graded, trimmed, or both. So learning the truth means that most of their cards are altered, but so are everyone else's. That's the rub. And that's why most of them won't care anyhow even if they learned it. You either play that silly registry game or you don't. And for those who do choose to compete on the registry, they're all buying flips, not cards. If they were interested in cards, they'd all be looking for centered copies with high eye appeal rather than these diamond cut cards with print lines that magically made their way into PSA 9 holders and 10s that have 1/8" between the card borders and the bumpers inside the holders.

Interesting thing from my POV. We had a recent thread where guys aired their hobby grievances. I believe I was the ONLY one who even mentioned card doctoring.

Yes, of course the holder sanitizes the fraud, because most collectors trust PSA. Trimmed cards are not an issue they think applies to them. And if you looked at their cards and told them that these 10 are trimmed, it wouldn't be material to them because they wouldn't believe you. |
