PWCC Offering

[mechanicalman]

I'm generally surprised they are offering a card from that grading co. I hope they accept returns if it's not authentic or altered.

That bottom edge looks bad to me. And while I'm complaining, what idiot at "hall of fame grading" decided that the '33 Goudey is Ruth's "rookie card?"

The same people at Beckett.

[Jay Wolt]

Never heard of Hall Of Fame grading co
Is the card wavy or is it trimmed all over the place?

Sorry to disappoint Pete, but I figured I'd post this here instead of starting or bumping yet another PWCC thread. Something else "worthy of attention" in the current auction is that they're selling a "? AUTHTCT" card, which they only describe as "AUTH" in their auction listing and description.

Incidentally, they did a similar thing last year with an E92 Bender card. Brent/Betsy pulled the listing after it was brought up here. I messaged PWCC four days ago about the Joss card and received a response three days ago from someone named Melody that they "will be investigating this further." Three days later, and the auction is still running. Whoever is listing the cards really needs to learn what "? AUTHTCT" means.

Well on the positive side, HallofFameGrading by cert number has graded over 91000000 cards.

On the negative side, I have not been able to find their website, www.HallofFameGrading.com

another stealth grading company that flies under the search engine radar

They is no www.halloffamegrading.com on the internet as listed on the slab.

[Neal]

the hall of fame example is actually intriguing .....

[iwantitiwinit]

There is no such thing as a free lunch. I wouldn't touch it. Obviously there is something wrong with the card otherwise it would have been graded by PSA or SGC.

Stuff goes off the web, usually when a closed business doesn't pay for the website anymore.

Looks like this website was only active 2003-2005. So they have probably been out of business since late 05 (last archived on 19 Nov. ) It's possible they were gone earlier but the hosting company left their stuff up for a while. it happens, mostly from laziness - why spend time clearing the site off the server as long as there's room?

Blame that on Beckett, they have listed the 1933 Goudey Ruths as his rookie for years. I hope they have since changed that as it was just a few years before he retired.

I often confuse 18th year cards for rookies.
