Thank you Peter. I’d appreciate if you keep posting links to cards removed from the auction and other outed cards on other forums - I am not a member of any other forums and I am a tech idiot, so I get all my news here and appreciate the links.

Meanwhile, the jacked T206 Jennings one hand AB 460, psa 6 is still live, which means they have not taken out all the bad eggs; I suspect they have removed a mere fraction so far.

Good that they did this, I was bidding on the Red Cobb.

Leon, can you see if you can get all the remaining cards for this auction pulled? I bet there are 100's still in there? He seems to like you best.

I doubt every single one is tainted. . If a card is obviously trimmed, or altered in a bad way, and is in a live auction, I will be happy to send Brent an email. He said in a post, some will believe him some won't, that he has counsel and is working with authorities. At least those are 2 good things. I am watching how it plays out just like everyone else. There is some great detective work going on. I am all for getting rid of fraud in the hobby. I hope those committing fraud are all held accountable. It only helps all of the good collectors/dealers/flippers/LCS owners, AH's etc..

Not sure if it was this thread or a few of the others... it’s getting tough to keep track...

But Brent was asked multiple times which branch of law enforcement he is working with. Has he provided an answer? Is it the FBI, Local Police, State Police, Internet Police? Or perhaps it’s the branch of law enforcement OJ used to find the Real Killer. Perhaps we shouldn’t set our hopes too high.

The dreaded branch of law enforcement known as the mirror.

Respectfully, to me knowingly enabling a card doctor (even one) for a decade makes one a fraudster, and if one wants to get rid of fraud in the hobby, one should not associate or affiliate with fraudsters. Just my opinion.

“We understand that we are responsible for our part in this mess.”

Damm. That’s a wonderful trial exhibit after Brent gets up and denies all responsibility. Trial lawyers dream about stuff like that.

Infraction given for political comment. Please keep politics out of it.

Yes it is. Thank you, and I think another fellow board member helped as well. I am glad. One less bad one out there. I have no skin in that game (not my card and never was), but I strongly believe it used to sit in a psa 4 case and had brown crap under the right arm.

And I agree with Leon, many - in fact, most - of the cards in pwcc’s auction are probably 100% fine. Bid accordingly or boycott altogether, but I do fear collateral damage that comes from this.

Just curious but were you aware of what is currently going on with PWCC and PSA prior to bidding on that card or was it a card you knew was coming up long before this latest scandal came to light?

IMO NOBODY aware of the current climate can come bellyaching here or to PSA, if any PWCC card bid on from today forward is found to be altered, regardless of the grade assigned by a TPG.

Agreed. You don’t have to stop bidding, but don’t complain if you get bit.

I was an aware, as much as my fellow bidders. Also aware if something was wrong with the card, I’d return it...
(But I guess that carries a bit of default risk)

I'm quoting this. Literally cant belive what I'm reading. You've been cheerleading for PWCC all along.

Stuff trumps all, and it couldnt happen to a better rube. As Bozo would say " juuuuust keeeeeep bidding"
