I woke up this morning to a text from a gentlemen I've dealt with in the past bringing this thread to my attention. It is not too pleasant to spend a couple hours in the morning reading false accusations and needing to study hundreds of replies via multiple sites to issue a statement.

I am quite irate because an anonymous individual has made an erroneous assumption that libels my and my companies name, assumes guilt by association, and is counterfactual.

Evan posted on the reddit thread, "There is so much misinformation in that thread that it’s entertaining." I would not call it entertaining, the words that come to mind are bothersome and alarming. The post involves me without facts, making stretch assumptions, and objectively false statements.

Invest In Baseball was hired by Cardology for the 2018 national to assess collections and market for inventory via our customer base and other means. IIB did not set up a booth and I worked the floor and out of the Cardology booth to help assess collections, ensure he was making fair deals, bring deals to the table, and help some lesser educated staff because of limited bandwidth. This buying ad is identical to the buying ads that were placed throughout the industry, sent to our email list, and was not conducted any differently than usual business other than I was hired, at a very handsome rate, to help Cardology.

I was actually extremely excited to be working with an NFL player, a Super Bowl champion at that. I am 100% sure every single person who has a business would be willing to work with someone who offers a huge advancement for your company via name association alone. Evan has always been cordial, stand-up, and follows through with his word. If it weren't for him I would not have been able to grow IIB as quickly as it did and I am eternally grateful. I make no comment on any of the accusations or assumptions made about him in the Blowout thread and only provide comment on the unfounded accusations relating to myself and IIB.

Via the anonymous posters definition, PWCC, Probstein, and COMC are all associates of Cardology-- they sold inventory. It is unwarranted to list IIB as an associate because the company was hired to work for Evan and unknowingly sold cards on consignment. I am sure there are hundreds of other vendors, auctions, and collectors who have unwittingly sold altered cards, by this posters definition he needs to research them and list them as associates.

Respectfully, I request that I be left out of this. I've mostly moved on from this industry for two years as a business and buy on the side as a hobby to populate my house and enjoy the past that brought me to where I am today.

Kind Regards,

Sean

Sean, your prompt response is appreciated; although I view the post as being about Evan.

For what it’s worth, in my limited dealings with Sean, he has been an honest and stand up guy. I am afraid there will be guilt by association and unfortunate collateral damage as facts come out.

Sean,
While I appreciate your statement on the matter and want to give you the benefit of the doubt, the questions are starting to add up on Blowout?

"How many buyers of proven trimmed cards sold by investinbaseball in the OCSI thread have you contacted for refunds?"

"And you were listed as an associate as you were buying cards on his behalf."

"What can you tell us about your history with Scot Maxwell and Dick Towle?"



Please share with us what you know about the billion dollar scam and maybe I'll believe you? Start singing, what is it that you know? I mean, this is your business. if it was mine I would sure know what you know. Help us all know what you know. you are obviously involved to some degree in knowing something? What degree is it?

That's what I thought Sean. Sorry, I don't believe you.

The fact that there's a millionaire celebrity Superbowl Champion in on the fraud illustrates just how deep the corruption runs. And it does not bode well for PSA, as all of the cards exposed just happen to be in their slabs.

I bet the FBI is finding connections behind the scenes that we never imagined existed. Still just the tip of the iceberg...

Your comment makes me think about how a professional athlete typically reacts when getting caught using PED’s. Initial denial, comments around unintentionally taking something that was in cold medication or a supplement, having it all be a bunch of BS, and then serving the suspension or banishment.

Curious is Sean will be back to answer? He seems to be reading up on the Hank Aaron trimmed thread at the moment...
