My exceptional PWCC pickup.

Do their stickers have Braille? Because I think the blind would appreciate knowing that their graded card has extreme eye appeal.

Brian (noted for coming up with insensitive but genius level ideas...and a PWCC dating app. Why didn't I think of that?)

Is there a legitimate purpose to this thread other than the counter all the negative pwcc threads lately? Why couldn’t this pick up been posted in the pick up thread? Pwcc isn’t the only company with ‘quality’ cards. I get like three catalogs a month filled with them from auction companies.

Just my 2 cents - I think novice collectors hear the "Buy the Card - Not the Holder" schpiel over and over and over. I don't think that it sets in tho until much later down the "collecting" path after carefully studying many cards in hand. I know it took me a long time to get that thru my head.

I would suspect that many untrained eyes would automatically speculate this T206 as at least a 7 were it not already in a holder. My 1st glance at this card was a "wow" and then I automatically assumed "crease" because of the holder.

PWCC's target customer consists of way more than us on the boards and as such I don't think their "HE" designations (or whatever else) is necessarily such a bad thing.

Been saying the same thing. Most of the regular contributors to this forum
are skilled enough to operate without assistance....but they only make up
a small percentage of the collecting public. The rest of the wold may need
helping hand/eye.

Define “legitimate” first.

Thank god for all these guys who run auction houses. Some of them deserve sainthood. Except for the obvious criminals of course.

I would recommend not going to the blowout forums as the happiness
and positive attitude might take a big blow. It did for me. The truth
can sting sometimes.

But hey congrats on the pickup.

Nice card - glad you are happy with your purchase.

Was that so hard?

[BLongley]

Yeah... PWCC is developing quite the reputation for bringing very high eye appealing cards to market... both vintage and modern... it’s unfortunate the reason they look so good is that so many of these cards have been altered and there is an amazing paper trail that is being left behind... seems it all started about two years ago with that SGC 50 DiMaggio... and now we are having the broader conservation discussion... hmmm...

The link above will show some other nice eye appeal cards with those stickers attached... and then it also shows the before “conservation” image...

[Exhibitman]

Dude, they sell altered cards...in TPG holders. Praising PWCC is like praising a pusher for selling the best smack. But the stickers are nice, if you are a six-year-old girl who got through her visit to the dentist without crying. Perhaps they should be unicorns, trolls and My Little Pony. As a grown man, do you really need a sticker to validate your decisions? Does your wife slap one on your heinie when you do a particularly good job in the sack? Mine does...haven't seen a sticker in a while.

But I digress. Maybe all is well with PWCC. After all, not every card they sell is altered, just a lot of them. Maybe the Rube has't been worked over and is just a really nice card for the grade. I sincerely hope that is the case. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day. As for me, I will limit my buying to Probstein: they're too lazy and incompetent to 'conserve' cards.

David, no legitimate purpose other than to take a stance that there are Net54 members who do purchase from PWCC and are comfortable with it.
I’m willing to bet many members here just stay quiet about it because of the social justice warriors turned hobby police is in full force harassing anyone with differing opinions as if this were an Antifa rally.

If there is anything guaranteed in this world it is a good old internet tough guy. It goes back to the beginning of the internet.

There are definitely loads of internet tough guys on card forums.

I have had nothing but positive dealings with PWCC. Every transaction was first class.

People can pretend all they want but most of us simply can't not bid on cards in their auctions if we want to keep moving our collections forward. It is what it is. So much of the best material ends up there.

Agreed on all points David. Thanks for chiming in.
