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

To quote the Kingston Trio, "He never returned no he never returned."

Or to quote Fitzgerald, "I think he realizes his presumptuous little flirtation is over."

I got nothing to add here except to say that a good Fitzgerald quote is a great addition to anything.

last name is Van Hess, just to make sure Im within the rules....

He'll get bumps forever neath the graders' radar
He's the man who never returned.

The one with the gothic "F" stamp on the back of the sheet music.

Is that where that song comes from? I remember it from an episode of Malcolm in the Middle.

i dont get it....

he simply admitted to cherry picking cards and resubmitting them....

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE APPARENT ALTERATIONS DONE BEFORE THE RESUBMITS?

many clear scans in this thread show the cards have been altered....

an EX-grader using his knowledge to alter cards in a way that cant be detected?????

SAY IT AINT SO................................................ .....................

Not to keep this thread alive, but does anyone know the business aspect between Pank and Rick? Since Rick hasn't addressed it here? And Pank hasn't won anything from him recently.

a)Rick told him to take his business elsewhere?
b)Still bids with a new ID or a friends account?
c)Pank found a new seller?
d) Fill in your own thought?

Also, will be curious what SGC will determine in regards to that infamous Goudey Gehrig?

I'm thinking the conversation might have gone something like this: "The jig is up, let's lay low." Dave

Lol! I'm thinking it went more like this: "Well, we've been caught red-handed twice now and nobody seems to care and it hasn't hurt sales, let's take it up a notch."

To answer the question though, Pank still continues to consign with Rick. Pank currently has 571 currrent active auctions consigned to Rick.

Does anybody have an update of the Gehrig card that was the subject of post #98 (Page 13)? It’s the one that went from a PSA 6.5 to an SGC 8.5. When it was pointed out to Greg Bussineau (who was selling the card on eBay), he removed it from eBay and was supposed to send it back to SGC for re-evaluation. That was a couple of weeks ago and surely SGC has looked at it by now.

Of all the bumps I’ve seen, this one really bothers me the most. Here’s why. I don’t think anybody is going to crack a PSA 6.5 Gehrig (a $7300 card) to try to cross it over unless they know beforehand that they are going to get a bump. It’s just too much of a gamble. In other words, I believe the crossover/bump was pre-arranged. After all, if the submitter only wanted a crossover, they would have just sent it in still in the PSA slab. Make sense?

Does anybody know Greg and, if so, can they ask him what SGC said about this card? If this card is deemed to be trimmed, I think SGC owes us some answers:

1. Who submitted this card for grading?
2. Who was the grader that missed the obvious trim?

Note: I should point out that I do not believe this was one of Panky’s bumps. I only brought it up originally because we were on the topic of bumps. I just think that’s worth mentioning.
