As a purposeful outsider, I've met some wonderful and absolutely sketchy people in this hobby since the early 1980s. I've been purposely lied to and ripped off as both a kid and adult. I've been gifted cards and knowledge without due cost as a kid and adult.
There's a give and take in this hobby because of the money that flows through it and we all lay our purity tests where we choose. I still like the hobby and get more good out of it than bad. The bad tends to pop up and surprise rather than run in streaks. I've made reasonable and safe purchases from "bad guys" in the hobby and sold other "bad guys" my cards. It's technically not ethical, but I've learned to be very transactional with this hobby. I try my best to be truthful to people I deal with on my end of any transaction and listen to others who want to tell me things about what I'm holding (everything from I'm pricing it too low to get another opinion on possible alteration). |

When legitimate auction houses eventually sell the same card that PWCC sold at some point in history, I haven’t noticed any below market prices on those cards. If anything they typically sell for more. Has anyone noticed something different?

My initial reaction to "PWCC" is
![]() But I recognize that the brand has been sold to an entirely different company, so i will just have to learn to readjust my read on things PWCC. Hopefully, fanatics turns the brand around. Looks like they have a good start on it. I am never surprised at the price of a rare card in a popular set, unless it is a really low price. T206 is ubiquitous but it is one of those issues that so many people collect seriously in so many ways (brand, series, player, etc.) that rarity really brings out the money no matter what else is going on.
