If I were Brent, I wouldn't be laughing. PSA must hate that guy by now.

He has problems on several fronts I would imagine.

Solvency may be one of them. A consignment business can't last long if they're taking returns but can't get reimbursed by the submitter.

PSA President Steve Sloan has released the following statement on the PSA forum:


PSA is aware of recent hobby message board activity and is conducting its own investigation into the matter.

We take consumer protection seriously, as evidenced by the thousands of altered and counterfeit cards that we reject each year, our on-going investments in grading and holder technology, and long track record of working with law enforcement to eliminate fraud from the hobby.

PSA processes more than two million cards each year and will not let isolated acts from a few dishonest actors deter consumer confidence in our brand. We will act against anyone who violates PSA’s Terms & Conditions by knowingly submitting altered cards for authentication and grading. While our actions will be conducted privately, please know that the impact will be felt by those attempting to mislead collectors for personal profit.

As with any financial transaction, if you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact the seller to initiate a refund request. If the seller is unknown, you may send the card to PSA for review under our Financial Guarantee of Grade and Authenticity.

PSA is well-versed in combating fraud and we have addressed these issues in a professional and direct way for nearly thirty years. After all these years, our hobby is stronger than ever. Rest assured that PSA will not let the actions of a few have any lingering impact on the hobby or the PSA brand.

Steve Sloan
PSA President

I either got it from the Facebook Vintage card forum or the 52 Topps forum if you are on FB?

I am unsure, if I copy and paste the links, if they'll show up or not without being logged in?

How many buyers will begin to pay PWCC in some form of reverse C.O.D.? If they turn out to be insolvent and have to shut their doors, the last payors who pay for their auctions might not be able to get their cards I would imagine. Does anyone know if the paypal or credit card refund measures would cover a buyer in this scenario?

...and all the cards in The Vault are confiscated as evidence during the ensuing criminal proceedings.
