Posted By: <b>D. C. Markel</b><p>boxingcardman - What attacks? I've only asked questions, which I believe are warranted for all that Kevin has posted on this thread as well as numerous other threads. To answer your question, I am not employed by CU (or PSA), I own no stock in CU, I am not a PSA authorized dealer. I do own PSA cards, but also have some SGC and GAI cards.<br /><br />Kevin - So your authentication service of previously holdered cards is no longer a reality?

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Having just read what looked to be The Hobby Protection Act of California on a website, it seems it only applies to coins and political collectibles.<br /><br />Baseball cards would not be included.<br /><br />Anyone know of a link to the statute, an interpretation, or case law that suggests that the statute applies to ball cards??<br /><br /><br />Frank.

Posted By: <b>Fred C</b><p>Hey Kevin, <br /><br />Is the link to your site connected to the forum subject of "Detecting Card Alterations and Reprints"? If not, why not ask the MD if they'll throw it in there. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Index/85511" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Index/85511</a>

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>The act i alluded to was the "federal hobby protection act' and it too covers only numismatic and political items. In 1998 I believe the FTC got involved with autographs since that was forgery. I have no idea if case law would come into play regarding ballcards or memrobilia. i was simply stating what i thought Dan was talking about.<br /><br /><br />Steve

Posted By: <b>Steve Clark</b><p>There is something I don't understand. The Gallery shows a number of ghost images cards. I can see how they can be altered to make them look like that but the end up looking like something worthless. Did ghost cards exist out of the "pack", therefore a rarity?<br /><br />What is PSA's beef? Anyone can post cards that have been altered, esp. coming back from PSA as being so (which seems to happen a lot). I see nothing on altercards.com that is controversal except the subjective quote about 15%. I just don't get it unless there is more to it behind the scenes.

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>Fred C and Leon,<br /><br />Naturally--any successful business pays the most attention to their best customers or those that have the potential of being so.<br /><br />Dan,<br /><br />You are absolutely right that soaking cards is altering and is absolutely wrong. One of the biggest surprises to me after I began posting on this board was that so many were engaged in this highly questionable practice.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>It would be so much easier to read this thread without that 167 character long URL posted up there.<br /><br />Leon, I'm begging you to either make a board rule against long URL's or give me moderator status in which I will only fix long URL's.

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Dan,<br /><br />One of these days when I'm done with finals maybe I can try to compare browser or display or some kind of settings with you. Long URL's automatically wrap on my screen. I only have to scroll over if the scans are too large (grrr - and I hate that).<br /><br />It'd drive me bananas to have to scroll over every time someone posted a URL. There's gotta be some settings or something that make mine wrap when yours don't. Maybe next week sometime we can figure it out, if you know anything about that. I wouldn't even know where to start looking at settings or toggles.<br /><br />J

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Am I the only one having this problem? Does anyone know how to set it up the way Joann evidently has hers set up? My computer may be a little old, but my monitor is a nice new flatscreen.
