Totally weird. One time I tried to conference-in the Secret Service (or DHS, I forget), but it didn't work.

As I recall they busted one of his "mules" out of Denver a couple of years back, but not sure if they ever stopped him entirely. Doubtless a lot of his cards are out there in the hands of collectors. I personally dealt with one where PSA's reaction was very disturbing. A board member I was helping had bought a PSA 9 Ryan RC out of one of the major auctions. I can't recall how, but it came to his attention that there was another Ryan 9 with the SAME cert in an older slab that had been sold by ML years before. He sent the card to PSA, with the idea being that they would confirm it was bad so he could get a refund from the house. Guess what? They claimed it was a clerical error and put the card into a new holder with a new cert.
