Its not just moser/pwcc...more trimmers exposed

[sportscardtheory]

Everyone should be worried about this. It affects the very reputation of the TPG who grades or graded YOUR cards. It's a direct negative reflection on the integrity of EVERY PSA and BGS graded card. If they can't or won't catch alteration, what the hell good are they. This renders third party grading essentially useless, beyond card protection. You can't trust a grade. If you aren't worried, your'e oblivious. Every card now carries a stigma of possibly being trimmed by these criminals. Criminals who have been handed a means to commit fraud by TPG's not doing what is supposed to be their core objective.

Not worried, just startled.

Long holiday weekend allows for reading every Blowout post.

So, we have a handful of trimmers who ONLY deal in grading and selling their handiwork. Looks like over 30,000 cards so far when Block is included and using submission data. Averaging about $1,000 per card in sales. Over $3 million in fraud sales and growing. That has to affect everyone at some point.

And let's not forget this has been going on since the 90s. They're only uncovering a bit of the most recent layer.

This was just posted on Blowout from the most recent National. Notice the top and bottom names.

Probably a coincidence on Moser.

Although, if they have that board running again this year, it would be really smart to take a picture of it every couple of minutes.

Could be a good way/opportunity to photograph the bad doctor!

My bad, poor math. That should be $30 million.
