Joseph M Pankiewicz, you are a disgrace to this hobby!

Like with graded memorabilia, put an invisible stamp/id# only visible under blacklight, to the card....plus, the TPG's should have a scanned copy of all cards in their internal database. If a card is resubmitted with a stamp, they now can cross reference to see if card has been altered. I would gladly pay a few bucks more per card.

The saddest part is that this will all soon fade from the front page and it will be back to business as usual for Joe and his cohorts.

Exactly. Joe really did not have to reply. I think it hurt him more than it helped him. Despite evidence having been gathered very quickly on just a few cards, obviously there are many others, law enforcement will not do anything with this information and the hobby has memory problems and a very high tolerance for crap like this. Before this even fades from the first page I can assure you most people who have read and/or posted on the threads have already moved on.

If you look at the thread created by Joe, I think there are more OT and humorous posts than posts attributed to the topic. So Joe, if you are reading this, do not lose sleep over this thing.

Maybe there should be a section in the archive on this site that discusses suspect sellers/auction houses. Maybe a timeline of hobby indescretions over the last decade up to present...naming names...so users of this message board will have such info to help with future transactions?

That's not a bad idea. A lot of message boards have a section in them where known scammers and/or suspect sellers are kept. The section would need to be closely moderated to avoid false and/or salicious allegations, but it could be done, and it's a good resource for buyers...
