I saw this posted somewhere else but what is PSA's tolerance for size of the card? I think it was 1/32 or 1/64 of an inch but can't find it. Thanks.
|
I remember reading through the fake autograph thread a couple months ago with many people claiming “this is why I don’t buy autographs” etc. Also all the comments about PSA being the undisputed king for life. Figured at some point the graded card world would come crashing down to earth. Don’t get me wrong I dabble in autographs, raw and graded cards but I don’t/won’t pay huge premiums if a card is an 8 versus a 9 versus a 10. I’ve never understood the intrigue of the registry. Will be curious what this will all look like a year from now.

whats next?
started with autographed cards....then high end (and lower) cards....and then autographs?
imagine if psa is this bad, how many fake autos are certed by them? psa authentication is worthless. |
Whether we want to admit it or not, this is where we are. NOWHERE!! I have been on the board for 10 years and the topics of Rick Probstein and Brent Huigens always, always, always keep coming up, since day one...And not a freaking thing gets done, period, end of story. This is a corrupt hobby, and the rich just keep on keepin on getting rich....We have thread after thread, but what in the Hell gets done? NOTHING Rick Probstein is the biggest dick in the Hobby, and he loves it....Brent is a chronic liar and he's used to it by now and laughs....

Kevin, part of me says you are probably right. But I’ve read on BO that folks are planning to distribute flyers at the National to get the word out and create an Altered Cert Number website to ensure items get removed from the Registry. That would be interesting especially if one of the insiders admits all their cards were altered in every submission, even where there is no “Before” picture.

Anyone following this story should definitely read this recently revived post and PWCCs response:
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...09#post1885409 The funny thing is when I first was reading this post, I thought it was brand new and a little behind the curve because it seemed to be referencing something that everyone already knows is going on. Now I realize it was 2-years ahead of its time! |

Interesting thread bump, with 5 very provactive posts. Lots of new members on the board since the last post in July of 2019… this should be interesting.
I have only two comments/questions: (1) why on earth did you dig this up after 2.5 years? (2) I believe Jeff knows his stuff and is smart enough fully to comprehend what he posts on a public chat board. |

I do agree that the majority of high end sports cards are altered in some way, especially vintage cards. |

How about putting your name on your posts?
Do you happen to work for Brent? |

Has PWCC contacted the buyers of your consignments and asked the buyers if they would like a refund as of yet? I could post the BODA Blowout thread if you would need help creating a list. |
*grabs popcorn*
This is going to go well. Why bump a 3 year old thread that wasn’t being discussed? |
Nobody really cares anymore. Opinions have been formed people have drawn their conclusions and that’s that The hobby/industry has moved on.

realated to Scott Jaimet?
Curious :-)

's saying something. He is a real threat, imo. Absolutely bat-ass crazy. This thread is going to be locked for now until I can confirm Will is Will....... Edited Update- I just received a call from Will and we had a chat. My only concern with the issue is that people are who they purport to be. He sounded like Will to me. He said he was tired of all of the crap and wants to defend himself. He said he will come back on and answer questions. But that is his call. . |

I was accused of that. Since it’s hard to tell with encased cards, I bought back every card to my knowledge that buyers were in happy with. I still will always do that. Take care.

To be honest I’ve never worked for Brent but have a great deal of respect for what he’s built over the last decade or so. If he’s hiring I want a consulting job! |

I saw the twitter war between you and madeforwinter/sportscardradio. Do you think it would help to do one radio show where you can explain, discuss, and take questions from people? There are so many sites and threads about this, much gets lost in the facts and truth. Just a thought.
|
Adam,
I enjoyed skimming your articles and can tell you are a highly intelligent individual. If you ever would be interested in doing an interview I would be up for it. You can ask me any questions. Take care and enjoy the weekend! |

But if you will indulge me, I might venture a few (hopefully helpful) observations: 1) I've never heard your name before you started posting in the last day or two. This suggests to me that no one is really talking about you, including the important fact that no one is talking negatively about you, at least not around here, at least not as long as I've been around here, prior to the last 1-2 days at least. 2) Reading some of the older posts, along with a few of the responses you've received so far suggests to me that you're not likely to receive a warm and welcoming reception around here. So your strategy may be flawed, unless all you really want is to pick some fights. If all you want is to mix it up with the Net54 populace, then my guess is that your strategy will be successful. 3) While it seems like you want to defend yourself, prior to your re-appearance, no one seems to have mentioned you in a while. As such, it seems like you're digging up old and cold history that many of us either didn't know existed, or had moved on from. Since it seems to be history, my advice would be to leave it in the past. The only potential exception might be if you're looking to process refunds for anyone who feels they didn't get their money's worth from your past products - I'm sure anyone in that position will appreciate your gesture. 4) If you're wanting to rehabilitate your image, and prove that you're a great guy, then actions speak louder than words. Coming on here and sparring with net54 posters probably isn't going to get you there. Processing refunds, sure. Putting out good products that are well received by the hobby, sure. But arguing, even loudly and stridently, about the ancient past on hobby chat boards probably won't do much to change hearts and minds. Just a few modest ideas, in the spirit of trying to be helpful to you in your quest. While all of us enjoy throwing metaphorical rocks at each other, and having a front row seat as others trade blows, my experience as an erstwhile combatant in one or two great Net54 battles of yore is that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. Good luck! |

Thank you for saying that. You sir are more of what the hobby needs. |

Great post and I agree with some of it. But to be completely honest it was a lot to read and I’ve got to get into the Houston Tristar show here soon. But I’d love to meet for coffee if you want. 503-351-0139 is my cell. Feel free to text me if you’d like to grab a venti :) |

I just sat down and re-read this post as earlier I was trying to get into the Houston show and I was rushed. I really appreciate the guidance and kind words. However, this is my life and my Legacy. While I am not perfect I also have never screwed one person out of any money whatsoever. Therefore I am going to be willing to speak to anyone who has a problem and try to get to the bottom of it. Enjoy your weekend! Will J |

Someone just mentioned to me that some of my posts are being posted on blowout. I would like to say thank you for that. I applied for an account and asked Thomas Fish if I would be able to post to defend myself but they denied me. Please let 312 know that he should do a podcast with me and quit hiding. I’d like to know what his motivation was and who his co conspirators wept knock Heroes out of the wax game.

Did you or did you not alter cards?
