Outed cards, now including a 130K gain on an Aaron rookie

Excellent thoughts. I remember well a poster here from a decade ago who, at least in his public stance, fit squarely into category 3.

I think there is a 5) Those who believe many cards, including some of theirs, are altered but don't care, because all that matters is the number. They want that to be everyone's reality, and, to a degree in this hobby, it is.

I think that's category 1?

Isn't that the same as #1?

Edited to add: Peter beat me to it while I was typing.

1 and 2 are pretty much the same to me?

Good old Jim C.
Twenty thousand slabs and every one perfectly legit. And no creases on that Wagner. Both are accurate statements.

Wonder how Mr. Crandall is doing in his quest for however many sets in PSA 8 or better that he was one? Is he still in the hobby? He used to be a frequent poster on here and the CU boards but I haven't seen anything from him in years.

WOW this is a new low. A dealer says a card is for their personal collection then turns around and sells it. Must be some kind of new thing we all need to look out for.

Here's a 2013 archived page where he claims he and his 9 year old son are passionate collectors.

1.WE ARE COLLECTORS just like you and have been buying cards since 1977 ….we are NOT DEALERS LOOKING TO RESELL YOUR CARDS AT A PROFIT. There is no need for a middle man looking to make money off your cards since we are purchasing for our own personal collection allowing us to offer more.

If memory serves, there was a thread last year about an email from PSA regarding the same person, again mentioning the apparently still 9 year old son.

Since this is an ongoing investigation whatever happened to the bogus autograph scandal? I don’t remember any charges. I thought there were people here who know who but seems like no matter how much evidence is brought to light nothing is done. Or maybe I missed something? Or is it still in the works?

I sure hope they will be successful in getting Rich's 9 year old son out of suspended animation.

Correct Jim talked a good game but that was it.
