"My understanding...and please correct me if I am wrong:

A hoard of desired and valuable cards show up, virtually out of nowhere. Previously only three graded (known?) and were all hand cut. Now an auction company who admittedly alters cards and is under investigation by the FBI is selling them. They were sent to SGC but not graded(?), where each were deemed factory cut based on an article their boss (let’s not go there) wrote.

Kevin,
You are wrong here on a number of counts. It is my understanding that these come from an old collection from which the original checklist was made. Thus they do NOT constitute a new find - just a re-emergence to the hobby. I would not consider the Nagy or Carter collections new finds to the hobby. There are more than three others known. I would guess we can come up with more than three in the collections of board members. They were sent to SGC, examined carefully and found to have been factory cut, not hand cut. They each received numerical grades from SGC.

Why are people here so fond of spreading fear and paranoia? When there is substance, great. But let's not create it out of nowhere. You all sound like the government sometimes.
