PWCC Statement on Recent Card Trimming Concerns

That might be a few less bidders on your items or maybe your buy it now listing does not sell at the price you want. That is where the real damage can occur. Think about if the value of PSA slabbed cards just drops a little bit over this situation. That could be millions in lost value in small increments. This effect can go way beyond the altered cards in question.

Remember GAI? Exodus to SGC.

I thought Mike Baker was terrific, as good as they get. What happened there is really sad.

PSA should regrade them "Authentic" and recoup whatever they can out of them through a sale. To avoid them coming back raw, they could scan each card and use as a reference. I know it's been discussed, for years, about using invisible ink of some kind on the card itself. Maybe now is the time to take that into serious consideration, again.

The FDLE called me today to discuss my report. So you can be assured that law enforcement is looking into it.

If there's a seizure and court case, I assume they would be marked in some way. The PSA/DNA synthetic DNA would be good.

Then they'd be sold raw.

When all the fake Rose RCs were discovered ('86?), weren't those allowed to be sold, but first all marked counterfeit?

There is absolutely no discussion on the PSA message board.

SO corrupt...

I usually hate it when people link these things... but found an appropriate sound track for the imminent American Greed episode about PWCC and PSA. Innovative alternative band, perhaps most famous for doing the South Park theme song...

They should repeat that ominous bass line all throughout the impending episode.
