Blowout Thread Outing Another Alleged Card Doctor

[BabyRuth]

Hard to believe someone would spend $12K on a Carlton Fisk card just cause some third party grader says its a "10" - Buy the card, not the holder - when will this madness stop?

Probably never....

People are apparently just too gullible and dumb. Despite the mountain of evidence right in front of them, they still need an emperor's clothes validation, and are still somehow hypnotized by the slab.

I don't know what to make of all this. I've made a couple deals with Sean and he recently purchased this 1952 Topps Mantle from me. Sincerely hoping it doesn't show up "restored" in a PSA slab anytime soon

Not saying it will or will not but there are some pretty specific markers in the front of that card. Would be easy to compare.

You can best believe he didn't buy it to lose money. It's a shame what the hobby has become.

It's not a good candidate for restoration. The rounded corners will keep it in the PSA 3 to 4 range. Soaking it, spending hours working on the surfaces, etc. would just be a waste of time.
