I can’t reset my password. Getting error message. So I cant log in. Big auction ending tomorrow. Hopefully they fix it soon.

had no problem with mine Im all set, and yes some nice vintage cards ending tomorrow night so hope you get it fixed.

I can still bid on cards that were supposed to close last night in weekly auction #131. Didn't get any notice it was extended, but I have seen the "time remaining" counter be off one other time also since Fanatics rebranded the site.

Anyone win something in last night's weekly auction there and get an invoice today (implying that the auction actually closed)?

Yup. That PWCC name was a marketing cancer. There was just no scrubbing the doggie doo off the bottom of that tennis shoe no matter what they did.

The "Fanatics Era" is starting off awesome.

The people that won last night woke up to messages that they didn't win and they've extended the auction for another day (today) "in the interest of fairness" because of "difficulty placing bids" yesterday.

That's the "whatever dude" low-effort Fanatics business model I'm used to and it's nice to see it spreading all over the hobby. Great job, Fanatics.

I have a few items held in the ridiculous vault at PWCC but since the change over to Fanatics I can't see that any of those items exist, can't see prior invoices and can't see any mailing of the most recent purchases under the last pwcc auction before the change over. In addition, their chat helproom isn't working. WTF. Is anyone else having the same problem(s)? Does anyone have a phone number for them. Thanks. Bob I.

I am not having any issues with them. I have never used a hobby vault though.

I am sure they will get it worked out. The bigger the company the longer it takes, generally.

Looks like changing the name may have been a good business decision:

Top of the market signals.... strengthening

That's interesting. That seems like a pretty big hit to ebay sportscards....Maybe Fanatics will buy Ebay LOL>...

Would be very interested to see the details of this partnership. They either gave Rob a very very large check or he made what I would consider to be a horrible business decision, at face value. Or both.

I'm sure this is a good deal for Rob and his team and he would not make this move unless it made sense for the Burbank team
