Another Story ugh �� ….

The moral is if you think you are smarter then the industry maybe you should humble yourself and you rely on yourself. Shipping it from state to state business to business letting others posses it in their vault….nah not for me.

Maybe should have been "sure" before forking out $93k , or whatever the price was.

Shipping is a fickle process, sure to go wrong at times. Unfortunately , this was one of those times.
Not sure where to place blame , here. If there is any to be placed.

Unfortunately My instinct tells me there was several fumbles along the way.

Hope it gets resolved, but there again, if Im dropping $90K, I would be sure, at least I hope I would.

That site has a firewall up now but it looks like the card was subsequently found by PWCC, allegedly it shipped to the wrong address. So except for time and frustration, and possibly an over graded card, it doesn't look like anyone is out anything. But maybe I am not reading it correctly?

Notwithstanding the respective issues and foibles of the various players (PSA, Heritage, and PWCC), this sounds like a case of buyer's remorse. According to what I have read: (i) This guy (government worker) buys the card from a Heritage auction for $93k, pays and directs Heritage to send the card to the PWCC Vault, (ii) PWCC receives the card and emails the guy high resolution scans that shows things he does not like, (iii) he demands that Heritage takes the card back and directs PWCC to send to Heritage, which they do, (iv) Heritage says its a PSA 9, as advertised, and to take the matter up with PSA under their grade guaranty, (v) Heritage sends the package back to PWCC unopened, and somewhere along the line the (insured) package was lost and later found, (vi) the card is back in the PWCC Vault, Heritage will not return the money and maintains they sold a PSA 9 Mays, end of story, and to go back to PSA, and the owner is an upset baby who has now talked to the Texas AG and gotten the press involved.

It appears the only one who did anything wrong here is the buyer, who is unhappy he bought an over-graded card.

I was unable to open it but googled and found another write up on it

And I agree with Ryan both on his recap and his conclusion.

Buyers remorse on a card that was potentially over graded and thus over paid for it

Amazing how things could go so wrong by so many especially when dealing with a high value item like this

Well stated Ryan. 2 additional thoughts 1) Did he not use the zoom in feature of HA website. I'll criticize HA website and practices where do, but they do give very high resolution images. 2) Did a PSA 9 Berk Ross Mays really jump from $4400 in May 2020 to $93k in Nov 2021?
