I don't think I you can hold an auction house responsible for selling altered cards that were good enough to make it through PSA or SGC. Even if someone did pay off a grade or 2 to get them through.

You clearly know the law very well. On what basis are you even opining about what it is? Seriously?

Just common sense. If they reasonably believed the cards were authentic, and a grading company agreed, how do you hold an auction house accountable. I would hope you know the law better than I do so enlighten me. What crime would have been committed?

Your first if is counterfactual. You're basically saying if they were innocent I don't think they could have committed a crime.

I haven't seen anything yet that would suggest otherwise. If you, Jeff, or anyone else has I'd like to see it.

It wouldn't convince Jesse. But of course he's willing to convict PSA on the basis that money is involved. Therefore the graders must have taken bribes.

Have you been paying attention to this thread on BO? It sure sounds like Brent and PWCC cares about the hobby and will do what it takes to help keep it clean.

Post#1012, and others. Like the post with proof reads, he had adequate time (8 days) to do something but chose not to.

Not even Brent has claimed he believed the cards were all legitimate. He knows he would get skewered if he did. No, Brent said, OK from now on we aren't dealing with these people.

But carry on.
