I have never bought from them but we had a former member that got a ton of resealed stuff past Steve. He even bragged about how easy it was.

Default Steve Hart

No issues with bbexchange. I think Steve Hart is one of the few honest folks in the buisness...

I think it's a bit unfair to Steve to post an anonymous claim like that, personally.

What part is anonymous? Don't you remember the guy I am referring to? Leon banned him after he was outed for selling resealed star player packs he was getting past Steve. He bragged about how easy it was before Leon banned him.

EDIT: The former member that was resealing packs and getting them past Steve was Jose Vazquez, his ID was Pepis. Before he was caught reselling sealed packs he was a great help on this forum showing how to spot resealed packs by several different methods. He also pointed out many resealed packs in PSA slabs. It was too bad he turned out to be one of the bad guys because he was an amazing resource for information.

Ben, can you post a link, or just say who it was, I really don't recall that.

People can draw their own conclusions about BBCE. I will say this though. If one person can get resealed stuff past Steve (multiple times), why couldn't others?

Pepis does not show as banned.

He does now and not all members who are banned show as banned. If there is already something in their user title area it doesn't show. He has been banned since it was seen he couldn't be trusted.

Was it ever determined that Jose sold his fake packs? If so, shame on him. If not, I don't really see where he did anything wrong.

I work for one of the largest oil and gas engineering companies in the world. My current project is the expansion of an oil production platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Our client is BP. Next week, my project will have a quality audit, the focus of which will be on me and my department. Anybody else ever have an audit at their job?

If Jose didn't sell any of his creations, then as far as I'm concerned it was a quality audit for Steve. Steve failed...over and over. Period, end of story.

But, again, if he did sell his pack creations, shame on him and thanks to Leon for giving him the boot.

Unfortunately Jose was selling his fake packs. He was caught on here doing it. If you click on his name and search his posts he even admitted to it. Cant remember the card that got him caught but I remember I stuck up for him at first.

Just for the record I AM IN NO WAY ACCUSING STEVE HART OF RESEALING PACKS. My concern was about getting what I truly believe were reselled packs authenticated by BBC exchange off members of ebay. I decided to buy direct from BBC exchange and experienced the same problem. I know for a fact the 89 upper deck and 83 OPC were resealed that I got off ebay. The 1982 topps football cards I got direct from BBC exchange were suspicious. I have not opened 82 topps fb packs since I was a kid. I cannot remember if there were glue on the top of every card in the pack but I find it strange every single card had glue on the top. I can scan pics for proof if some of you are skeptical. I find it odd that every single "good" card I pulled from all 3 boxes had issues (small creases, gum stuck to the back, glue on the front, and dinged corners). I can see past the dinged corners, but what explains the glue on top of every card and few cards having creases? Ive never gotten any creases in any of the commons…..just the good cards. Also, whats the explanation as to why some of the packs (about 2 per box) were not fully sealed and/or sealed like a 3yr old sealed them….unlike the other packs.

I am not saying steve reselled the boxes, but is it possible that whomever he bough them from was able to pull as fast one on him if he did not sit and examine every single pack which I doubt he had time to do.

This forum has been very useful in identifying resealed cellos. Does anyone know any tips to look for fraudulent rack packs from the 70's? It would be pretty difficult to reseal them without being detected so are people manufacturing their own with a vintage look and feel??
