Peter, would you mind writing this question down so when he’s under oath we don’t forget to ask him?

The personal insults and piling on the guy who spent close to 30k on what appears to be an altered card should have no place on this site.

The lack of understanding on why someone would gamble to turn a 3k card into a 25 to 30k card if he knows how to do so is hard for me to believe. Have you guys never placed a bet before? He only has to make it work 1 time in 8 for this to pay off.

Is it certain the card was recolored? It's hard for me to tell from the scans but perhaps the spots in question were simply removed.

I am also surprised at how many people are disbelieving that Moser would alter a "9" in an attempt to try for a "10." Three grand is a small amount to risk, considering how much Moser has already been shown to have profited from his alterations.

If it bumped cert would be the same, no?

Yes

That's right. Hopefully it was cracked out and not altered.

I'm just trying to be a little hopeful in this mess.

Not if cracked out and resubmitted. I would be too risk adverse to try that myself but for someone with a higher net worth I could see it happening.

A lot of assumptions are being made in these threads from a before and after picture that in some of these cases may not even be the same card.
