50 of 1952 Topps Baseball Autographed
150 cards of Mickey Mantle on the Master Set Registry
113 cards of the T121 World War I set
70 of the 80 cards in the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set
Mattingly Rookie Set (plus Nestle and Tiffany)
Mark Teixeira Rookie Set (plus a bunch of others)
32 Bobby Jones
30 Christopher Columbus
8 N43
13 T6
Whole bunch of odds and ends, along with the 32 cards from the board bulk submission going straight to COMC.
Sending my complete set of R184 Indian Chiefs and some other odds and ends to the next Nonsports Auction.
So I'm clearing out 750 PSA slabs out of my collection. For now, I'll be keeping the #1 rated T51 Murad Colleges set and the T56 Fraternal Emblems. I submitted the vast majority of those cards from collections I purchased on eBay, and believe them to be good.
I was a pretty big PSA homer until this latest scandal broke, and the post on the CU board from 15 years ago where Joe Orlando said it's better to let trimmers/alterers continue to submit to PSA rather than taking away their privileges being dredged up really teed me off.
In order for this scandal to actually get PSA to change, I want to see a big drop in the value of PSA graded slabs. And less people to submit. And more people to protest. We've still only reached a minority of PSA collectors. I reached out to one guy who had 13 cards in one set exposed as trimmed by Blowout. This guy wasn't contacted by PSA or PWCC to tell him his cards were altered.
It requires the crowd-sourcing BO has been doing in order to make people aware of the fraud perpetrated against them.
