Carry on with the spin and defense.  Apparently Brent and Betsy are not posting any more so they need good proxies. |
Now its you doing the spin. I never said anything about trimming the card, noone said the Dimaggio was altered that way.
What about soaking a card. If you soak a card at a yard sale for $5 and you get the card graded a 7 and sell it for $5000. I dont think anyone would complain. But if you bought the card as a SGC 4, and there is a auction sale of the card and now you soak the card and get a PSA 7 and make $5000 people will have a problem with that. At least more people would have a problem with that second example then the first, but to me they are the same level.
Many on this board think soaking a card isnt scam behavior. Please refrain from adding extra things to fake make a point. I also do not think its ok to buy a card thats ripped in half then put it together. Thats also not what happened with the Dimaggio. I can fake make a point as well and say a card was altered because somebody removed dust. No need to make up extreme fact patterns.
I also concur with you that at this point that it does appear Brent knew the history of the card when it was listed at PWCC.
