What on earth are you talking about? What better proof of materiality than from the very guy who bought the card not knowing the information?

I understand that Steve. I just don't think it should be available because it is used to alter cards for the sole purpose to deceive someone to make extra $. I could give detailed instructions on how to counterfeit cards also but choose not to. I am sure you also know how easy that is.

This whole chain of events casts a major shadow over the ever so holy bid retraction thread.

I think in your scenerio the card was yours to begin with but was going to the highest bidder...i agree though, if you are going have to pay the 8%-14% on top of your bid to win back your own card, go for it.

right what on earth am i talking about. If there was a trial on a 1952 Mantle being doctored and reholdered, you think the judge would allow that guy (the poster that bought the dimaggio) on the jury? I think he would be considered biased. People have disagreed with you that had nothing to do with the actuall card that was bought or sold. i just value the opinions more of people that werent actually involved about the transaction being a scam or not. As far as what facts occured, yes, I would want to know it from the people that actually were involved in the transaction. Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 02-16-2017 at 02:01 PM. |

That makes about as much sense as pissing in the wind. My response was in regards to not being told that the card was doctored. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that hell yes, my opinion is biased. I said that in a previous statement. I also said that had the information about the cards history BEEN DISCLOSED, I wouldn't have paid 5K for it. That is a material fact considering Brent knew for a fact that if he'd told me that the card was doctored I'd have had zero interest in it. Considering the nature of our past relationship, the fact that I was by far his biggest consignor for 5+ years, and how many times we talked about bad sheep in the hobby and what they do to cards to get them in certain holders, to say that withholding that particular tidbit of information was negligible is akin to saying that the Pope is Baptist.

I agree theres an added component here as the auction house owner was the one involved on this card when it got reholdered. Theres a bit of an ethical conflict there. Usually i would imagine when something like this happens to a card, its not being sold at an auction house where the owner of the auction was involved. This is an unusual situation.

Whether anything was disclosed or not how did it affect the Goldin Auction sale?
Did Courtney (hi Courtney) lose his money well before any alteration/cleaning was known? Wasn't it in an auction as a straight up 7 with 0 discussions of anything else? IF that is the case did it have a material effect on that sale?... Damages? Quote:

Peter disagrees with me, but there are other posters here that disagree with Peter. Some say that theres a way to remove substances on a card without even touching the card for instance. Again, i not saying it was not wrong and not saying someone can be pursued for civil damages. However the card is in a PSA 7 holder and was sold as a PSA 7, thats not a Scam in my opinion. (assuming PSA wasnt paid off etc) Im sure the seller of the card will say this wasnt a scam as well, but i would say he is biased as well.

There again, lets not forget why I signed up for this forum today and why I made a few connections with a few people before I started posting. I was informed that what I said would likely be taken with a grain of salt b/c I never post and have no "forum credibility"........so, thanks for that tidbit, Evan Mathis. I signed up for the sole reason of setting the record straight on Brent Huigens, PWCC and the way that they do business.....the lies they tell.........and, in this case, the lies that they fail to mention (pun intended). There was a lot of speculation going on as to what actually transpired with this card from the time it left REA until it just sold through him (again). I'm strictly here to set the record straight, let the community know how Brent does business.
I could really care less about losing the 30K that I lost when I sold the card in Goldin's auction. As part of a portfolio, 30K is negligible in the long run. Anyone with a large collection will tell you that. It's one of the things that I preach. What I do care about is making sure that others don't get burned like I did. Brent earned my trust, but like any rabid dog, when you turn your back, you're gonna get bit. He's a snake in the grass and all of what you guys suggest about him and his company is legitimate and, for the most part, accurate. Has anyone noticed that Brent is still MIA after being called out several times? All those years of him monitoring this board and telling me not to bother with responding b/c "(he'll) handle it". Yet, now he's...poof....gone. Must be on another monthly vacation somewhere where there's no internet or phone service (like HI. LMAO). I'm guessing his attorneys are telling him to STFU and pray this goes away. Guess what Brent Huigens, this aint goin' away buddy!!!! I know you're reading this, I've already caught wind of some of the remarks that have been made about me TODAY. ;-) |

No dog in this fight, but Cortney you say in post #362 "Considering the nature of our past relationship, the fact that I was by far his biggest consignor for 5+ years, then in post #368 you say "He's a snake in the grass and all of what you guys suggest about him and his company is legitimate and, for the most part, accurate.
Are you saying up until this incident you were clueless as to who you were dealing with? Could we see these cards you've consigned the last five years to be sure we also weren't burned?

I would not presume to comment on any disagreements between Evan and Cortney, but I can say that everything Cortney has said about the history of this particular card is consistent with what I previously learned from people other than Cortney, whose involvement was news to me today.

I'm waiting for a pop-up ad from PWCC on this thread; the eyeballs must be off the charts. Quick Leon, dynamic pricing...
Courtney, not to diminish your narrative on this thread because it does appear to have merit, but 50 retractions; give me a fXcking break. And you've paid for all your winnings?? yeah right I believe the forum will eventually sort this out, so I will stay tuned. I do apprecaite the fact you have the balls to come on here and tell your story and it appears to have legs. I'd like to hear the other half. Last edited by Leon; 02-16-2017 at 03:35 PM.

Evan, you talk just to hear yourself think dont you? I have zero credibility? Within what group? Now, spouting off "facts", all of which are in your head? If I have zero credibiliry and dont do what i say, why do I have boxes from you show up at my house prior to pmt? Is it bc you know you're going to get paid? You just made my point too, by the way. So, thanks for that darlin'. Does it have anything to do with you telling me for the ladt 3 weeks to "leave it alone". Go get Brent now. Lets let the rubber meet the raod. ;-)

I do not have a pony in the race here. Question for Cortney.... When you submitted the card to Goldin, did you know the card was worked on and put in a New PSA holder as a 7 from an SGC 4 holder?
I think it's obvious that the Goldin winner (John) had no idea it was worked on and regraded. As he must have learned about it only after it was listed with PWCC on Ebay. Did Goldin know about the card's history when they auctioned it off? What's even more amazing is why didn't someone catch it in the Goldin auction????? It took an Ebay auction to figure it out. Don't people use the VCP to look at high end cards and the POP before making an investment

No, I found out that it was doctored 3 days into Brents auction (1yr+ after I bought it and 3 months afyer I sold it). I took my losses when I auctioned it and moved on....never mentioned my loss to anyone. Then I was alerted to this new revelation. I was alerted to this thread by a mutual hobby enthusiast. At that point, Id obviously already sold it but was considering buying it back bc it was 30k under what Id initially paid. If you look at when i quit bidding on Brents auction (i revealed my ebay id letters earlier), and when this thread started, i quit bidding on it as soon as i found out that the card brent sold me was in fact the same card that he bought in REA.
Goldin didnt know anything about the history just like I didnt. The only one involved in this who onew the true story was Brent.....and he's now sold it 2x under false pretenses. Last edited by Whodunit; 02-16-2017 at 03:48 PM. |

Sooooooo your saying colonel mustard is innocent? I don't believe it !
Why does it matter who doctored the card I'm sure there are many that can do it and maybe even more.

Thanks for restating Cortney as I missed your earlier post as I was speed reading the thread. Glad to see both Cortney and Evan post on the board as we knew there were many other private collectors/investors who drop six figures or more into the card market each year.
Glad to hear Goldin didn't know about the clean up job as I would hope that any credible auction house would disclose all information about the item they were auctioning off. It wouldn't surprise me whoever won the PWCC card will make it disappear. Looks like the PWCC consignor John gets his investment (flipper) money back plus a grand and that's the end of the 1936 WW Joe DiMaggio card. After reading this thread and Brent's involvement and knowledge of this card (if true), he probably should say something on here and I'm sure he is hoping this card disappears and gets forgotten about.

Making the card disappear isnt necessary, or even warranted, imo. Getting it into the proper holder (A) seems more appropriate. Evan likes to say Id have bought the card regardless of whether it had been altered or not. What Evan failed to mention is I dont own ANY other holder than PSA and none other than graded cards. I dont buy altered, raw or anything in the neighborhood.....unless, im otherwise misled (lied to) and find out the hard way that it was manipulated and slipped past PSA. I fault PSA zero in this case.....I fault a thief and a liar 100%. There again, only Brent and I can dispute this claim. Where is he these days? Im not hearing a claim from the cats mouth.

If PSA allows this type of alteration/manipulation and grade anyway, Ill concede defeat. But, to my knowledge, that isnt the case. If I were buying a holder, Id do the same, but I buy cards. And I bought one hell of an altered 4. Lmao. And it wasnt even a PSA 4, it was SGC; and id rather own wrinkled, raw than SGC.

Sorry for that comment. Slipped off the tongue. It's just my personal preferences. I admit and apologize for the negative sgc comment. I am 110% dedicated to the consistent value of PSA, but realize that sgc does have their niches and value as well. My apologies. My issues with SGC and BVG are due to their lack of q's. No excuse though for my bad behavior. :-(

Now it's been "disclosed" to you, and every vintage buyer reading this thread, when you buy/shill your next $100K card in a PSA Holder, it's possible that card has been chemically altered. I'm not trying to bust your balls, but for goodness sakes, don't rely on the Auction House to give you that information. Most of them don't even disclose the bidders for dang sake. |
