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

[Peter_Spaeth]

"My understanding is you can get a PSA 8 or 9 Henderson rookie for maybe a few hundred bucks while a PSA 10 pulls in $30-$40K. So if these people can duplicate the holders and flips, and put real cards of fairly high grades into them where the naked eye has trouble distinguishing an "8" or "9" from a "10", that is truly scary. And lord knows how many bad cards may already be circulating out there because of this."

This. People are buying flips, not cards, and that is what is creating the massive incentive to commit fraud.

Here, here, Peter. That is exactly why I for one am happy to buy mostly raw, mid to low grade pre-war cards and stay away from what I think is a ridiculous run up in ultra high-grade cards.

curious to if it was this henderson?

and if it was, then i know first hand that the gentlemen knew it was fake as he tried to dupe it on me about 2 years ago. still have the email conversations for this very reason.

his new/changed ebay handle is thepostgameshowdotnet and he seems to change it every 6 months or so.

i think he was a very new collector and threw a bunch of money at cards that he thought were great and didn't know much about (or qualifiers).

mainly purchasing a bunch 9oc stuff but paying straight 9 money. and then trying to resell at even higher 9 prices...

I even emailed him this exact picture and he didn't even seem to think it was odd that there were 2 of the same cards/certs, etc.

then naturally takes offense that I even suggest he's bought a fake card.

similar to cardregistry's initial response.

but of course cardregistry didn't try to resell years later knowing it was fake.

even joe o sent him an email requesting him to send the card in...he wouldn't do it.

I haven't read all the posts so maybe this has been covered. I looked at "cardregistry"'s feedback and no negatives. But I found it interesting that repeat buyers like small traditions-auctions, probstein123, pwcc_auctions and 4-sharp-corners are listed a few times. This means the fake cards could be almost anyplace by now as these guys re-sell and those buyers will never know.
