Not that I know of...

But it sounds like they used several distribution channels, so it's hard to tell sometimes.

If you didn't buy direct that's at least a start, but yeah once he was outed I think he started using other outlets, perhaps PWCC. Abd the thing with the hobby is you can't always determine, even with the PSA site, the first sale of a card. So there is always uncertainly.

The 'white armband' is a recurring and common variant on the 1954 Mays. Yet Moser apparently removed it via recoloring. Seems odd to go to the effort, that wouldn't hurt the grade, it's not damage. More evidence we have people who don't really know those particular cards well still doctoring them and PSA being unable or unwilling to put the time in to detect them (or more corrupt explanations available) because they don't know them very well either.
