In fact, the last two vintage offerings for pwcc have been weak, which again I attribute to consignors boycotting. Maybe it’s not boycott, but a coincidence. But I choose to believe it’s the former and that consumership can make a difference/statement through buying/consigning, or curbing/ceasing, habits.
I encourage anyone who has an issue with PSA, of PWCC or any TPG or auction house, to at the least, express that issue with their wallet and choices, however that manifests. Don’t consign. Don’t bid. Don’t submit. Don’t collect. Stating “nothing is changing” on a chat board will only serve to help fulfill that very statement. Indeed, choosing to cease posting such statements is a consumership action we can all take as a stance against this....

Agree stuff is changing....it’s going down in higher graded PSA 8’s-10’s are going to crash cards below ExMt-Nrmnt will be fine especially raw.
I do not believe many of the sold listing are Real Sales. The Vault in my Mind is a Buy Back Cover for their clients....Pump up if a dummie doesn't come in late and take the high bid card goes back in the vault to be repeated at a later date.
I guess it must be legal to do but who knows ???
