Hello,

First off, I apologize for not originally taking the time to read this. I just sat down and here are my thoughts.

My main issue with SCR is that they never reached out for comment. I believe you need to give someone the decency to respond. Maybe I’m wrong but that is how I feel.

Every single card or piece of memorabilia I’ve ever sold that someone wasn’t happy with for whatever reason I gave a no questions asked refund. And I will continue to do the same.

As far as my legal issues go, I take full responsibilities for my actions. if you want to know more details on it I will probably explain it on a podcast at some point. If you’d like to discuss it in person or on the phone I’d be open to that. Thanks again for your post.

So to be clear, the allegations were in fact true. Your objection is that SCR didn't reach out to comment (and presumably the personal insults and less than professional way they wrote it, I totally understand that), and that if a buyer caught the fraud and realized you had trimmed the card, you refunded them. Is this your position?

If so, do you think buying cards, trimming them, getting them into slabs, and selling them as high grade was a wrong thing to do?

To be clear, is the OP indicating that he's admitted to:

  • trimming cards
  • submitting trimmed/altered cards for grading to PSA (or other recognized TPG)
  • received numerical grades for the cards from TPGs and placed those cards in the product that he sold

Has there been an admission to ANY of those "allegations" by the OP?

If it takes you 24 hours to decide whether trimming cards, getting them into graded slabs, and selling them without disclosing is wrong, then you've already answered the question.

(and it's a felony, by the way)

You are either are or are not guilty of the charges made against you by the Blowout detectives and reported by SCR. The evidence is so overwhelming that you can’t even say you didn’t do it.

I get it, SCR is incredibly immature and unprofessional and included personal insults in their “reporting”. But if the claims to fact are all true, and it appears not even you can attempt to explain away the massive amount of evidence supporting them, then what are you trying to accomplish? You’re clearly guilty. It’s a pretty forgiving world, people who cop to it and go through the ritual of saying they were wrong and apologizing tend to get many people back into their corner or at least not against them. Dodging the issue entirely while bringing it up never flies though. You either did or did not trim these cards, get them into higher slabs, and defraud people by presenting them as if they were not altered. It’s not a hard question. You know the answer immediately, it doesn’t take 24 hours.

I would much rather know if Will had any dealings with PSA suggesting they were knowingly slabbing altered cards.

If it takes a person 24 hours to respond to a question involving their honesty or integrity, I'm certain that I don't want to deal with them.

My question is, if Will knowingly sold trimmed cards and some of his customers caught on and asked for a refund and Will gave them a refund, what happened to the trimmed cards? Did the customers get to keep the cards or were they returned to Will and, if so, what did HE do with them? Did he just keep them or did he resell them again?
