Indeed. Insert picture of horse blinders here.

Makes me wonder if grading has more of an impact on protecting the consumer or making card doctors tons of cash. It would restore my faith a bit if Heritage would pull the card and SGC took it out of the holder but I will not hold my breath on either issue.

Some of each.

Isn't board member Peter Calderon consignment director at Heritage? Perhaps he will see this post?

If this was a PWCC auction, the global price of pitchforks would have doubled by now.

Well, recall that the last time, it turned out Brent himself was the one who had purchased the SGC 50 out of REA and submitted the PSA 7 before selling it privately.

FYI, Pete did write back and they are aware of the issue. They will be reviewing the card.

I copied and pasted this from BLongley's previous post in this thread:

I would change the title to get more eyes on it... including Heritages since it’s live with them right now. I did send a PM to Pete Calderon letting him know. This card should likely be stopped from selling....this is not a good look for SGC after the t206 autos, now this trimming... and TPGs in general with trimming as there are a lot of issues with more high value modern cards showing up trimmed and graded (easier to find them due to serial numbers)....

Definitely took a trip to the barber -- wash and a shave please!

I let SGC know, in case they want to look into it.

I know there have been cases of auction houses stopping the sale of a fake item, but have there been examples of AH stopping the sale of a trimmed item and then the item being pulled out of the flip?

Pretty sure if Heritage pulls the card it would go back to the consignor. It would be up to him if he wanted to try to work something out with SGC to put the card in an altered holder or leave it as is. Although I suppose they could pull the cert # from their database if he refused to cooperate.
