Not the issue, according to Leon.

I almost think these inserts were somehow taken out of PSA. Who breaks open 1500 holders?????????
Probably not the case but that is such a huge # if indeed these are all authentic.

It could be a collector who had slabs from the Pre-half grade era and intended to resubmit the cards that were cracked out in order to pick up the half point grades. The flips in the image are the pre half grade flips.

More likely fake. Who cracks out a million dollars worth of cards?

Only someone who, rightly or wrongly, thinks they can make a net profit from their endeavor.

In the case of the person selling the flips, they are only looking for $1,000 of revenue. Which leads me to believe that they likely have not chosen to cast a cloud of suspicion over a seven figure operation to boost sales by one-tenth of one percent. Such a business model would be inanely stupid, in my opinion.

Just my two cents.

Best regards,

Not a million dollars worth for sure but I have busted out a couple hundred cards because I hate grading and think they are ugly in the holders.
I threw them all away

Amen brother I hate grading as well but admit it makes buying easier. I often bust them out afterwards. I don't however sell the flips on ebay.

this person is probably not a random collector. who has this many cracked slabs of high dollar uber expensive top grade cards?

If it's so important to you then you should pursue it with the authorities. I am not saying it can't, or shouldn't be investigated, I am just saying I don't think what they are doing is a crime. But what do I know?

I should add, I don't like seeing them being sold as I DO know it will likely lead to hobby issues down the road.

The authorities read this Board, I am told, so if they want to pursue it, they can. I am not optimistic, but I can hope.

I think they might be waiting for someone to slip up and admit to shill bidding.

agreed. there is ZERO reason to buy this unless it is to commit fraud.

Im serious, if someone wants to organize it, I will throw money in right now to buy this so someone can burn them. Dead serious.
