scam alert: fake psa cards from ebay seller "cardregistry"

[glynparson]

The holder was not even sealed. I find it more than a little coincidental an auction company owned by PSA's biggest rival was selling a terribly bad holdered Mantle. Everyone I have spoken to that saw the card in person said there is no way that it should have made it to Bill's catalog. They said it is nowhere near the quality of the older slabbed Mexico fakes.

I don't understand the conspiracy theory here. It sounds to me like Bill just missed it.

What I have been told by people with way more knowledge of the situation than either of us have. And I had no reason to believe I was being lied to at the time.

So what are your sources suggesting happened? Bill sees a bad half million dollar card, and Beckett tells him not to pull it so as to embarrass PSA?? Help me understand what Bill's affiliation with Beckett has to do with this?

I guess our guy in Mexico? (hi Copperfield) is still at it. Yes, he goes by Copperfield.
He interrupted my lunch pizza buffet to call me a little while ago. i had seen about 5 stupid looking calls (Magic jack, 5 numbers) on my cell and didn't know what it was, it was him.
He says he will never get caught as he is too good. I told him good for him, karma will catch up. He said he hasn't had bad karma and I said so what. At any rate, I guess he is still at it the way he was before. I ended our call as I was sitting in front of the restaurant talking to him and was really getting hungry. He is brash.

I can't blame him for being brash, this has been going on for years, he has probably made a sheetload of money, he doubtless ontinues to do so, and as far as we know nobody is anywhere close to catching him.

I just hope he doesn't interrupt anymore lunches. I don't generally collect high grade so don't worry about his antics. High grade collectors should be aware. ......drum roll...no, Peter, I won't show it again. (for now )

I find the imagery created by a "sheetload of money" very amusing.
