Bitching are the same 4/5 people on Net54. Fonzi is still at Arnold’s as far as the hobby is concerned. Would have probably said a$$holes but I actually like Peter.

Call me crazy, but I’m going to start a grading company. The slab will contain the graded card, but you will not be able to see it, as it will be contained within an opaque black envelope. The flip will be clearly visible with all the usual identification of the card and the grade.

1. Once in the envelope and in the slab, no one will be able to quibble about the accuracy of the grade.

2. The Blowout Boys will not be able to assess alterations performed on the card.

3. PWCC will be able to offer a third layer anonymity to the nuances of the card by keeping it in their vault.

4. Scan doctors who enhance the appearance of the card for resale will no longer be needed, as all cards will be seen as a black rectangle.

5. Third party grading companies can generate flips faster than they can actually look at their back log of ungraded items, thus reducing the wait times for submissions to be graded.

6. Auction houses can continue to embellish their description of lots for sale. They will also be able to save on the printing of catalogs or eliminate them, requiring bidders to simply view their embellished descriptions online.

7. I think that I can price this service competitively to compete with existing TPGs.

What’s not to love.

Glyn do you read your posts?

If you look back for years you make 3 types of posts the majority of times.
1) sticking up for altered cards
2) sticking up for slimy sellers
3) calling people names that dislike the con artists in the hobby.

You seem like an outstanding individual and I am sure many have a name for you also.

59K pre vig, 12 days to go. Surely we can break 100K for this flip.

Surely we can Peter. This card down the road will be pumped up in golden and or PWCC 2 to 3 times what it has sold for in Mile High.

Pump and Repeat Buyers/Investors Clubs

Very true...

But some of us choose not to “name call” or be rude to individuals belonging to a public forum in which opinions of both sides are welcomed. I understand he probably makes a good chunk of money flipping, re-submitting and selling slabs. But that doesn’t mean that such obvious fraud and corruption shouldn’t be called out.

Flip away, continue to defend these butchered cards and pop joyously!

+1. I’m glad someone said it
