That's reassuring. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Well-versed in combating fraud. Clearly.

We will act against anyone who violates PSA’s Terms & Conditions by knowingly submitting altered cards for authentication and grading.
Is he referring to PWWC? |

Gary I assume, who they apparently have allowed to submit for decades lol.

Not clear to me if Brent was submitting for him. It's irrelevant, but I can't make that assumption at this point.

So much for the good things I had heard about Mr. Sloan. Robo speak like his predecessor.

Hypothetical. So, if I pick up a Goudey Ruth which has been trimmed or recolored, and I submit it to receive an Authentic, am I violating TOS by knowingly submitting al altered card for authentication? And what are the repercussions? I’m not trying to cheat anyone. I know the card is altered. I want them to slab it and say that it’s real and altered so people will know what they are getting. Problem?

huh?
"As with any financial transaction, if you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact the seller to initiate a refund request. If the seller is unknown, you may send the card to PSA for review under our Financial Guarantee of Grade and Authenticity."
Seems like they are trying to pass the buck to the seller, as if the seller in all instances should provide the financial guarantee if the seller is known. So if the seller does not initiate the process for financial reimbursement, what happens then? This doesn't seem consistent with what they say on their website: https://www.psacard.com/about/financialguarantee "PSA guarantees that all cards submitted to it shall be graded in accordance with PSA grading standards and under the procedures of PSA. If PSA, in fact, concludes that the card in question no longer merits the PSA grade assigned or fails PSA’s authenticity standards, PSA will either: Buy the card from the submitter at the current market value if the card can no longer receive a numerical grade under PSA's standards or, Refund the difference in value between the original PSA grade and the current PSA grade if the grade is lowered. In this case, the card will also be returned to the customer along with the refund for the difference in value. The current market value is determined by PSA, based in part on Sports Market Report and SMR Online values and/or recent prices realized from the marketplace. PSA will be the sole determiner of the current market value." |

My reasoning was that if the purchase never happened, and PWCC was in on the fraud, PSA would have minimal or zero liability.

I think you hit the nail on the head John in terms of them pointing back to the seller for refunds. They probably feel they could make a good case that PWCC was in on it somehow.

The right thing would be for PSA to get those cards in their possession, but it would cost a small fortune.

Brent is on video promising to reimburse buyers for fraudulent cards submitted through PWCC. Watch the 1 hour long video. He doesn't say which cards those are, so all of them should go back to PWCC. Maybe his lawyer will come out with a list of affected cards submitted by PWCC so that he won't get every single one back to his company.

He says he submitted cards for consignors, nonspecifically.

Sounds like he's pointing the finger away from PSA...talking only about the "actors" who submit. What about the "actors" who graded them? How does that get explained?

I don’t know about CYA. From what I saw on The Wire and Breaking Bad, when you may be charged with a cime or a lawsuit, you should definitely NOT talk for 60 minutes on the record.

Is PWCC considered the seller or the auctioneer?

That's for them to pass the buck down to the consignor. Except I bet those PayPal accounts are bone dry.

Peter,
Thank you for the subtle and understated images. I was thinking about the T206 Wagner when I saw your images and it all just drove home the point. |

Back to the upcoming National, which is what 5 or 6 weeks away where they will be many, many attendees.....some being well versed on what has been uncovered.
Do you think PSA and PWCC will have more to formally say before then? Didn't they both commit to their own investigations and to say more after those investigations are completed. If they don't say anymore, they will likely be on the defensive. But maybe that won't bother them and they will simply give a further tepid response as they interact with dealers, collectors, by saying our investigations are still on-going. For PSA, let's take the PSA Registry Luncheon, for example. Are they going to just hand out their awards, maybe cover some other Registry changes, and in a large forum like that, not address this major issue knowing many in the audience want to hear more from PSA? |

This is why I've often said authenticators and graders like PSA shouldn't also be in the 'insurance' and 'financial guarantee' business because that latter stuff only serves to get in the way of the intellectual honesty and discussion of the latter. They should just be in the business of giving honest, open, learned independent opinions-- and that's all collectors should expect and want--, and anything that gets in the way of that should be removed from the equation.

they may be just as guilty. they dont/ cant admit to it though.
the only issue I would have is giving 10s to doctored cards. the occasional 10 to a 9/9.5.. big deal. youre trying push the hobby. |
