OMG Blowout list of suspected trimmed modern cards

[sportscardtheory]

Shame on PSA and BGS for allowing fraudsters the means to commit such massive levels of fraud, while clearly giving them preferential grades on top of it. Not only are they grading altered cards, they are OVER-grading altered cards and giving preferential treatment to the people submitting them. Unreal. The grading game is dead to me, because absolutely no graded card from either of these shit companies can be trusted to be unaltered and graded properly and fairly.

While I agree with PSA cards I don't with Beckett. I have 2 of the 12 cards they graded in testing before they ever graded a card for the public. Since they are just practice cards i believe there was no foul play involved with them.

Interesting how they went from 4 digit numbers to three digit.

Very geared towards modern though.

I once had a tour of the Beckett facility in Dallas. Sitting on the floor in a hallway was an open box of unused holders. I said "I could steal those and grade my own," and the Director of Grading joked "Don't bother. They are BCCG holders."
