WIWAG was cracking holders, according to SCD

This seems to be an after-market fraud, as reported. WIWAG appears to have been cracking cards and replacing the inserted card with an inferior one. No PSA personnel involvement... |

Here it was I thought that PSA was just plain losing it on grading when all along it was WIWAG switching cards. Yeah, that's the ticket. |

Who said that PSA is paying off the FBI?!? I think I'm blind because I know you wouldn't make something like that up, but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere in this thread. |

I keep seeing (or I think I'm seeing) a lot of criticism thrown at PSA for what has happened here. It's like people are saying that "PSA is the real problem, they are the ones really doing this, they are just trying to pin it on someone else..." |

My post above was more to offer some sort of "possible scenario" since there were no facts available about the case or the investiagtion. I'm only trying to follow some sort of logic in this case...it really does interest me. |

your scenario of what might have happened seemed very logical. I think we are beating a dead horse here, but...one more time: PSA's "overt and covert" detection methods don't do buyers of their graded cards any good if they keep the problem covered up for months while their cards circulate merrily among their customers. |

The slew of grading gaffes by PSA is well documented (the fake Ruth rookie, the Nodgrass errors in impossible poses, fake FroJoy cards graded, the trimmed OJ Lipset recently auctioned, etc.) and has nothing to do with WIWAG. I was trying to make fun of the PSA apologists by use of Swiftian satire to suggest that some of them will now attribute all of PSA'S mistakes to WIWAG. "Yeah, that's the ticket" was the tag line of the liar character Jon Lovitz played on SNL--you remember, the one who kept making all these incredible claims, often including stuff about "my wife, Morgan Fairchild, whom I've seen naked. . . yeah, that's the ticket". |
