The article refers to the vault in the past tense?

The article stated "undisclosed sum" wonder what the # was?
& will Brent & Betsy go off in the sunset or will they try something else in the hobby?

Fanatics can now take cards fresh off the presses with defects, use PWCC certified trimmers, get them over to some buddies at PSA, and move cards through auctions.

Brilliant move

How great would it be if the flips identified the trimmer? PWCC-GM.

GM print run might water down his market since it will be so high, but the lower print run, or mare scarce pieces by other trimmers is where the $ will be at

Would love to see the indemnity clauses in the purchase contract.

I guess I've bought my last ever box of Topps now. Shame.

Not to mention the reps and warranties.

DFs could command premiums.

Rumors exist that "Brentsy" will soon become Brent and Bestsy, as they were before marriage. As they were both partners in this organization, guessing this is the easiest way for both to leave the ownership of this organization with a good amount of $$$.

This buy-out might be a better explanation for the release of 30 employees last month....highly unlikely Brent decided to sell right after the layoffs and follow-up with discussing the organization's upcoming streamlining plans for no reason. This buy-out has clearly been in the works for a while. My guess is that Brent will stay on(as a non-owner), at least for a while.

Take the rumor's source for what it is worth:

That's a very long relationship, I seem to recall Brent had a picture of he and Betsy on his listings way way back in the day when they were not much older than kids. Things happen I guess.
