I have no opinion whether the offered cards are real or fake, I just wish I didn't have to wonder. They are supposedly graded by a 3rd party grading service which was supposed to help eliminate the worry, but even these cards are suspect. We need a solution for this problem.


I agree, it's sad. And I was one of the first guys to voice skepticism over the cards. I tried to be polite, but a brand new board member, making his first post, trying to sell $100,000 in cards raises red flags. How do you complete that transaction? Paypal? Check? Cash in a public place? None are likely.
