I guess I have become way too practical. I want the right answer to my questions and nothing against anyone here but my first stop will be with the person or company who is directly involved.

This one was sort of common sense 101.

woah, were you all making fun of me there? awesome community. I purchased one of the cards that was stolen and recovered and now deactivated. My only experience with deactivated cards has been ones later deemed as fake. I didn’t realize it was just a switch PSA could turn just back on. Appreciate the intel and glad you have more posts than me, up to 2!

Well, I was aware of net54 for years from a distance and stumbled onto this thread when looking for information about the theft. I kept abreast by reading all 900 posts (many of which felt like old lawyers trying to prove who’s smarter), and frankly found all of the information I needed. Then I go to check the pop on the cards they found, only to annoyingly see them deactivated. I asked a simple (maybe naive to some) question in here and was met by a variety of sarcasm. Obviously I could ask PSA, but I’m also bound to get a faster (and probably as accurate) answer here. All good, enjoy your next 30,000 posts…I’m probably done at 3.

p.s. don’t be so quick to alienate…your family will need people to buy all this stuff when you kick the bucket.

Question could have been and should have been posed to the auction house prior to your paying for your cards. It would take 4 to 6 weeks for PSA to get back with you.

Sounds like you have purchased fake cards or are at least familiar with that reality in the hobby, it would seem like common sense to resolve the cert issue before you send anyone money.

And I am taking my cards with me.

If people will buy from and defend anything done by convicted fraudsters, they will be happy to buy from my heirs regardless of whether or not they hate me for winning/losing in a chat board scrap 40 years ago. It's fine.

What is clearly in very short supply in the hobby are morals, ethics, conviction and a backbone...big wallets are not an issue.

They were valid questions for someone making their first post. There are a lot of scammers that come on here making vague comments in order to get their post count up and build credibility.

Had a good laugh at this one - far too many people have been chased away from this forum by a bunch of old men yelling at clouds

I firmly believe that is conducive to rain production.
