I am a member of a few collecting groups on Facebook, but I don't poke my head in there very often so I can't comment on those.

you wanna take this outside buddy???

So, it’s not all bad. I saw a card here I really need for my collection. The owner didn’t list it for sale, he was just showing it. I contacted him, and offered him lots of options for a trade. He could have held my toes to the fire, and he knew it. But he accepted my offer, which was fair for us both. He’s a collector, and so am I.

I've noticed people tout buying from PWCC as a badge of courage. You have to have your head examined if your willing to publically say you'd deal with them. I'm not sure what type of personality make people so adamant about sticking up for them, and continuing to do business with them. There are a few bad actors I know in the hobby, and honestly I would not sell them a card, take a card for free from them, ot even take a phone call or read their email. Ethics trumps all in my eyes. Likely the reason why 707 sportscards gets their premium.

If you do buy, and the card ends up being altered or whatever, please just destroy it. I'm sure after weighing all the pros and cons, you can write it up to a bad decision and you wont pass the buck here on n54, or elsewhere. Mmmmmm k?

Todd in today's world people would buy from the Devil if they have the card they want/need. It's just the way it is, I don't judge people by it, they're addicted to the cards.

Now you hear a lot about people checking out PWCC because they think they're going to get a deal because of their recent issue of being kicked off of ebay so OMG I should really pay attention maybe I can get a steal aka meaning CHEAP or a DEAL....this is what's going through many heads right now.
