Cards still being outed on Blowout -- PSA 9 Monte Irvin in the recent ML

[Johnny630]

This is dangerous they could also lower the grade back down to a 7 and your Royally F&Cked…will only get compensated the difference.

Raulis just sit back take 72 hours and think this over sir. Again your collection is beautiful and you should be proud.

I would take this deal every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

The current value difference between a 7 and an 8.5 is well into 5 figures.

Now whether I should take the proceeds and invest it back into another comparable piece is another question, but I will cross that bridge if I ever get there.

Did you get a respond from PSA on your concern?

In spite of their autoresponse that they would make every attempt to get back to me within three business days, it's been (/checks calendar) ~5 business days with no response.

In related news, I actually had emailed them a few days before about another matter, and they haven't responded to that email either.

So either they're ignoring all of my emails, or they're just slow. Or both.

Frustrating. I hope they back to you soonest.

We'll see. I think I've worked my way through the grief stages so that I'm now halfway in the depression stage, and halfway in the acceptance phase.

Maybe I need to work my way back to anger now!

I have been told that a sure fire method to eliminate creases, wrinkles, surface abrasions and soiling is to apply a small amount of nuclear waste, ensuring you are suited up when doing so. Supplies are often difficult to find, although I believe Japan is selling small bits through the dark web.
The only down side is the fact that your card is now radioactive.

The acceptance phase meaning you are OK with having altered cards as long as they get you those registry points?

Any update from PSA on either? Curious what their response is (if anything at all).

The latter. Whole lot of nothing at all so far. Could be a long wait for them to respond to their email.

Long gone are the days of good customer service, in so many companies.

At this point, I'm not sure what is being accomplished by BODA continuing to call out some of these cards. Particularly those which were altered by guys like Moser. It's not like we're going to further tarnish his reputation. I think the message that he alters cards is pretty clear by now. Continuing to post examples of his work can only hurt innocent collectors at this point. And the legal exposure for the BODA crew is very much non-zero. If they are wrong about a card and it costs someone money, they could easily be sued. Similar suits are currently pending, in fact.

Does every high end collector just sit around and wait for their turn in the BODA hopper now? Should we all just light our 401c on fire now?

Or perhaps the opposite will happen. The more that BODA posts, the more the hobby learns about what sorts of alterations are possible, and how they can be performed. Perhaps we will start seeing some of these well known card doctors offering their services with links to the BODA threads for free marketing, "As seen on BODA"

Lol. You must have planted a seed!

I read somewhere that Brian Brusokas is now working at PWCC. This is a joke, right? He's not really working there, is he?

I think continuing to out altered cards that have gotten past PSA has a lot of value.
Awareness and knowledge are important.

He has worked there for several months, I believe. Actually, I think he works for Fanatics, who owns PWCC (Hope that name goes away). Personally, I think he gives the new company a lot more credibility. I have always have been a fan of his, to the dismay of some collectors/dealers. One dealer whom I have called a friend for years will barely speak to me as he saw me chatting with law enforcement at the National. He's probably up to no good anyway LOL...

That all said there are FBI Special Agents who took his place, thank goodness.

I might add, I am a huge fan of Corndog and BODA at BO.....wish there were more of them!! Keep going guys....

Regarding the part in bold... That's good to know. Hope they are actually doing something and not just sitting on their hands. Would love to see some long overdue arrests, given the overwhelming evidence of fraud.
