What I find most interesting is that he just flaunts it.

I guess with the apparent failure of the FBI investigation to lead anywhere, it's a safe world now. Hack em up, grade em, sell em or consign em, repeat.

This exact video is why high grade slabbed cards, especially prewar, need to be viewed with suspicious eyes.

I thought our beloved TPGs were supposed to have suspicious eyes. Oh, wait.

It's about time. This is what every shady slimy dealer, doctors and PWCC's own conservator, Brent Mastro has been able to hide & kept quiet for 20 years or more.

Can't wait until he shows exactly what soaking solution they use and the next tic tac on coloring.

Great new business idea!!! Endorsed by all the 3rd party graders too.

That's awesome to see how the criminals do it.

I can't wait to practice on some of mine. Much easier than I thought. Even fat ex football players with sausage fingers can do it

I think there are more sophisticated techniques involving pressing out the card, so that hacking it does not yield a short/narrow card. But you may not need to be very sophisticated to get it by our beloved TPGs.

Glad he posted it. Hopefully this sort of thing eventually takes us from these card prices that increase exponentially by numerical grade back to the good old-fashioned prices that increase linearly (and barely) by condition. I much preferred when the NM-Mt cards were 2x the price of VG cards.

I admire your optimism, but I think more people than not understand that this goes on and don't care.

That’s the bottom line...many if not most know and do not care.

Sometimes shinning a flashlight in the darkness can get uncomfortable, but I'd rather be uncomfortable and aware than not.
