[Bpm0014]

One simple question that may help clear up a lot of things...black or white....yes or no: Did Pepis ever sell an altered pack??

If he responds and claims he did not sell altered packs will anyone believe it?

It's post-war PSA stuff - probably most here won't care. There is plenty of pre-war card drama to keep most of us going, but call us if someone starts forging T206-era packs.

The most shocking thing I've learned in this thread is that there's a market for 70's-80's cello packs.

Put it in a plastic tomb, throw a number on it and encourage collectors to compete for the best number and it's instant gold.

The FBI investigation is over after going through my data on how some stars
shouldn't be on top of certain packs and taking a close look and examining packs that i passed by PSA, the agents agreed that they were pretty bad jobs
in my part and they were surprised they got authenticated and in fact graded
one of the agents went on to say that i proved that Steve Hart
is bad at his job and being bad at his job is not a crime.

Can you disclose which packs were fabricated and did any leave your possession. This will help for those who own unopened PSA star packs. Thanks.

Are you thinking you should be celebrated?

Also you haven't answered the question about passing along bogus packs into the hobby? Instead you hurl an insult at the person asking the question. I have nothing invested into this other than it sickens me to see fraud and cheating in a hobby I really enjoy. If these responses are all you can add why reignite the thread?

[Exhibitman]

So lemme see if I have this straight: The fact that the fraud was poorly perpetrated means it wasn't a crime because the TPG should have caught it? Makes perfect sense to me. I'll remember to do a really poor job of it next time I knock over a 7/11.

To paraphrase Fitzgerald, buying sealed packs is a matter of infinite hope.
