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.

Well said, especially the P.S. part

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.

The lesson we have learned is that morals and ethics are for the filthy poor plebe trash.

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.

it seems if the guy was a bit smarter about it, he could have possibly gotten away with it

Would have to had sit on the cards for years, obviously break them out of holders, maybe give the cards a little nick/crease/ writing mark, etc, finally go to an " out of state" show..maybe one card at a time with the " line" I have the old card..looking to trade it... possibly could be done

Looking at the mug shot, it appears this might be asking just a bit too much from him.

Quitting his job at the Best Western Plus was a huge red flag. Who in their right mind would do that unless they had a couple mil in assets socked away.

He probably did have a couple of mil in his Best Western Plus 401K.

All he realistically would've needed was an unethical buyer with a deep wallet, its akin to stolen art, even if said buyer paid 20 cents on the dollar for the cards and knew they were stolen and couldn't really advertise they owned them, they get a bunch of monster cards for virtually free.

But sooner or later the brain surgeon who quit his prestigious job at the Best Western Plus would talk too much, and the buyer would be looking at prison time for buying stolen goods.
