If Probstein has any balls at all, he needs to come on here and out this consignor by name as a card doctor!!!

gpark73 bought the PSA 2 Gehrig from me, so I have his name and PO BOX. Is it a violation of eBay rules if I give his name? I have previously been made aware of what was going on by the guy that bought the regraded PSA 3.5, and I was made aware of the thread here today. It's a shame the card has been doctored because I thought the color was really great on it the way it was. I always viewed it as undergraded given some comps from the same era, but I am disappointed the guy that bought it from me ruined it.

There is also another thread on the main board where he shilled his own auctions. By all means, please give up the name of this card doctor / shill bidder.

Thanks for taking the time to join the discussion. As VintageToppsGuy mentioned, this isn't the only time gpark73 has been caught altering cards and/or shill bidding. It would be nice to know exactly who is doing this...

This isn't ebay. This is Net54baseball. You can certainly provide a name here however, if you do your name will have to be in your post. If you read the rules it explains it. If you have any questions please PM me.....best regards

That won't be necessary, I'll post his name. It's Joseph M Pankiewicz. This makes Probstein a liar and proves his involvement. That's not an allegation, I have proof.

I can't take credit for this information, it was passed along to me from someone else. If he wants to speak up, he can.

I would love to hear Rick's explanation.

Forgive me if it is in one of these threads (and I will go back and look if it is) but can you provide the proof here? This is the first I have heard of PROOF of Rick's involvement and I have been one that didn't think he is/was, except for maybe not being diligent enough a few times.

Yes, sir, I can...and I will...but not just yet. The name I posted above was just my first shot. Why fire all of my bullets at once? Nope. First, I want to hear Probstein give an explanation...either here or on CU. As you've said before Leon, sometimes it's better to let people dig their own grave.

Fine by me...

[eb548]

It's the Jewish sabbath. Rick Probstein has not read this accusation and cannot comment right now.

David- maybe you should also take a day of rest? Jeez- enough already. Haven't you reached your daily post limit? How many threads and posts does it take to make a point?

If you have your so called proof just post the damn thing so we can all move on. Instead you seem to enjoy hearing yourself talk and watching other people use shovels.

I would like to hear your proof before any explanation is given on Rick's part. I haven't disagreed with much that you say David but I heavily disagree with this statement. You are saying you have proof yet want him to explain before you provide the proof?

[D.P.Johnson]

I honestly don't know what the nexus is between Pankiewicz and Probstein but, I do know that Pankiewicz is the person who initially bought the cards from the original sellers and, based on the extremely fast turnaround time in getting the cards re-graded, he's most likely the person who altered them.

The card trimmed at the top edge is very disturbing to me in that it is so obvious. With this and some of the other PSA doctored cards that have been posted on this forum, how can anyone still take PSA seriously?

[vintagecpa]

When you are dealing with someone's reputation and livelihood, I think it is only proper to put everything on the table and go from there. It isn't fair to treat real life like a Perry Mason TV episode.

Sean,

Do you watch any real life detective shows? Think of it like this. When an investigator asks a suspect a question, doesn't the investigator already know the answer (and have the proof) before he even asks the question? Sure he does. All, he's doing is giving the supsect a chance to answer honestly. If he lies, then he incriminates himself even more. Why would I tell what I know at this point? I want to hear an explanation and if that explanation contradicts what I know, then I have the proof to pop him with a lie.

Great job, Dave. I thought I heard that name before.

[ullmandds]

Hmmm...it seems he likes to boast about ebay sales prices on his facebook page as well.
