I recall a J.P. Cohen who was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for wire fraud a few years ago. It was in connection with a fundraising scam in which donors were told that money would be used to buy wheelchairs for veterans and to provide holiday parties for sick children in local hospitals. In fact, he and his cronies were lining their pockets. This couldn't be the same J.P. Cohen, could it?

I believe he is the same person, but not positive.

And this meeting could have been called "Dinner for Schmucks"?

Default Rumor

I think I know the topic of the meeting, but it could be just a rumor. PSA, Beckett and SGC are going to join forces and they will start using a real 100 point grading system, and the grades will be assigned by a computer. All existing grades from every grading company will be declared null and void, and all existing graded cards will need to resubmitted and regraded on the 100 point scale. Every card will be assigned a value, according to the assigned grade, and it will be illegal for any cards to be sold for 10% more or less than the assigned value.

Time for my medication.

Rick

Is that true, or a joke? Because it sounds more like a joke.

I believed the part about all the cards having to be resubmitted again...that would be a grading company's dream!
