Well, there's some motive for you to believe they could be in on the whole scheme with PWCC and Moser (and others). PWCC consistently gets them record prices way over current market values and PSA keeps feeding them high end cards to sell to get those record prices. Hmmmmm. :rolleyes: It's late and I'm tired so forgive me if I'm way out of line here. Just thinking out loud I guess.

oh you're not out of line. In fact I think youve hit the bullseye. This is exactly what I feel has been happening way before this trimming and flipping PWCC scam has been proven. They are 50% there, IMHO. Maybe Brent Mastro will sing like a canary? I can't see that priss wanting to go to jail. He would not do well there. They would wipe that s*** eating grin right off his face in a hurry.

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.

Marchillo 06-04-2019 05:45 PM

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.

They charge more because if they screw up (like put a numerical grade on an altered card) they're on the hook to return more money if a buyer uses their guarantee.

dwinters 06-04-2019 06:28 PM

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.

CMIZ5290 06-04-2019 06:29 PM

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....

egbeachley 06-05-2019 07:13 AM

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!

My Mantle is likely worth anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 dollars but it would only take anyone of us or the TPG's about 30 seconds to determine that it is either going to get a PSA 1 or authentic grade?

VERY NICE! Have Scissorhands do some recoloring and trimming and you'll be around 15-20K. Send it in to brent mastro, he'll walk you through it.

I disagree if a refund was given. Pwcc refunded all people who weren’t happy with their purchases. Nothing was ever sold as “not altered”. When you buy an expensive graded sportscard you should expect that is altered to some degree. So after a few people got upset, I spoke with Brent Huigens and agreed to buy back anything customers weren’t happy with.

This widespread problem transcends PWCC. As long as the "card modifiers" continue to dupe PSA, these issues can and will rear their ugly head potentially anywhere.... eBay, Auction Houses, net54's BST, direct sales, trades, etc.

And why can't PSA just measure the cards, again? Has there been any response from them at all? It will be interesting to see if they ever acknowledge it, and how much their attorneys spin/downplay it. The power they have within the hobby is disgusting and shameful, and I wish that someone, somehow, some day could take them down.

There is so much more to catching alterations than simply measuring a card. Psa is inept at catching alterations and also are suspected of backdooring grades.

Why does Brent deserve jail time? Wasn’t he selling an authenticated 3rd party asset? And to my knowledge anyone who was unhappy with their purchase was given a refund. So if no one got hurt financially where is the punishable crime? Half the people on here have done worse things than this.

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.

So are you someone who altered and sold a lot of those altered cards through PWCC? That is what your post sounds like so figured I would ask.

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

How does this compare? The Masteo issues were so much worse if he did what they accused him of. A true shill bid is when a seller knows how much a buyer is willing to pay and then bid him up which is 100% theft. Pwcc offered refunds and also it would have been impossible for them to truly shill people because eBay was in the middle hiding the bid amounts.

I only truthfully know of one...now.

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.

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.

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.

I challenged both brothers who own it to sign waivers, and meet me in a cage for a 2 vs 1 war. I even offered to bring $25,000 cash if they could make me tap out or knock me out. But they’re ducking me and I don’t blame them, because I would wreck them live on stream for everyone to see.

Hi Will - I'm also from Oregon. I live in Wilsonville, and work downtown in Portland, so in some ways, we're probably practically neighbors. I'm relatively new on the Net54 board (about ~9 months now), so I'm not intimately familiar with the history here, and I also have never purchased one of your products, which means that you and I also have no previous commercial relationship.

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!

I wasn't referring to you at all. If you look at Ben's post, it's about Matthew Zimmerman. And yes, I think he has acted bat ass crazy. As a matter of fact, if you ask him, he will probably admit to it.

"Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, this disorder is characterized by "switching" to alternate identities. You may feel the presence of two or more people talking or living inside your head, and you may feel as though you're possessed by other identities."

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!

Hi!

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 :)

If you do, one recommendation, try to let go of the anger. It will make all the difference in the world and you won't lose the listeners. Perception of anger is sometimes seen as defensiveness. I know it's tough to do so, but it truly does matter. Been there, done that. Good luck!

Tremendous advice. I do my best to write from an angle that doesn’t exhibit anger. But sometimes in life anger is needed. My at the time 9 year old son saw a video SCR made about me and it wasn’t fair because I didn’t even know it existed. So I am angry towards them as they run their mouth without having the whole picture. That is the sign of a true coward and simpleton. But as a whole I’m not angry.

PWCC home of card trimmers and from what I can find one of the places you sold your trimmed stuff.

But they’re ducking me and I don’t blame them, because I would wreck them live on stream for everyone to see.

Because that's a logical and useful response...

This is the reply to them publishing your conviction for a violence related crime? Doesn't responding with violence kind of seem like a not good response to that accusation?

It can be portrayed that way. However I’m old school, and I believe if you are going to slander someone without asking their opinion/perspective, they should have the right to call you out legally. To be honest, he has always been the one over the years to claim he’s a tough guy and that he’s from Stockton. So I decided to call out the bully and his brother both. I haven’t been in an actual real scrap since college but for them I’d come out of retirement.

Hi,

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?

How about trying even a little bit to defend yourself here. You have been asked many questions that you completely ignore. I personally take that as you being guilty of all allegations.

I’d pay to watch this. It could be done at the National.

Time to ignore perhaps.

I never ignore posters. You could miss out on way too many beyond silly posts and this poster is on a roll.

I’m not sure what I missed besides the questions about restoration. Here is my answer to that. I like many others played the game PSA created. I have never paid off any graders unlike many others. If anyone has ever been unhappy with any of my cards, I bought them back for their purchase price. Instead of trying to condemn me for my answers to your questions, maybe try to look at it from a different viewpoint and give me some credit for sharing this. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Still no answer just more hot air as expected. I will credit you for making a lot of hilarious posts. You sound like a spoiled little kid that got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Then using 6 year old logic to explain it. Please keep posting I haven't read posts this silly since Mize saying how his OC cards are worth the same price as cards without a qualifier.

See guys he's not bad, it's PSA's fault, and besides everyone was doing it, and some guys did even worse stuff so it's all OK...
