[User Removed] Fraudulent PSA Registry activity -- Patrickdkearns

[ZiggerZagger]

Hi all --

[Update -- user's inventory was removed from PSA Registry by PSA Registry Manager]

Just a little P.S.A. on the PSA Registry here. Several days ago a fairly low-key collector [ Patrickdkearns ] added hundreds of cards to his Registry, taking over top spots on several of the more prestigious sets. Many were highest-graded in the hobby. All cards were added over a 24 hrs period.

Making a pretty solid assumption that he doesn't have these cards -- unless it's commonplace to have 7 T206 Wagners, but only a measly 6 Planks... It wasn't done with a ton of subtlety, honestly. He was all-in on Shaq Autos before this apparently, haha. I presume it was just him adding unclaimed Certs and then pics from VCP or some other source. Here are some useful links to his sets:

I casually participate in the Registry, but still like to see the process respected. I called the Registry CS number [(800) 325-1121] and initially got a confused guy in Coins, who then sent me to the Voicemail of the appropriate Registry agent, and am awaiting communication back. The cards still reside in his Registry about a week later.

Just putting this out there for the group. Maybe someone else knows someone at PSA more who can more directly address issues with this collection. Have a great Labor Day everyone!

It sounds like a lot of effort for no purpose.

Whose effort are we talking about?

The effort to get onto the registry?

Or the effort to take him down?

The effort to find unclaimed certs, download and then upload images, etc.

Haha, yeah my efforts stop here, for sure.

My sense of self is fortunately not tied into a rank on the PSA registries.

I'm on none of those affected sets either, I don't think -- although some fellow board members are.

Does seem rather silly if you don’t own the stuff.

Maybe it’s part of some larger con.

I guess all those Wagners would look good on a financial statement?
