My exceptional PWCC pickup.

Obviously anyone could sell any card at any time. My point is that PWCC consistently brings nice cards to the hobby. It�s quite frequent actually. Just like REA brings vintage memorabilia of epic proportions. This helps collectors like me. Just my opinion. Wanted to say something positive on these boards for a change. Happy Saturday all 🌞

I like the positivity, Martin. I would make the point that it's the Consignors who choose to bring these cards to market, however, through PWCC. These are cards that are already "in the hobby", with PWCC just acting as a conduit for the sale.
Although I do kind of like the idea of PWCC staff roving around the country, raiding estate sales and Ohio attics looking for the next big find...

Personally, I agree that the quality of cards offered via PWCC is high. Over the last year, though, the avidity with which folks seem to be bidding on every single PWCC item is noticeable. It's been enough to discourage me from buying as much with PWCC. I'm spending far less with them now than I ever would have imagined prior. I also thought the 'HE' designation was gimmicky enough when it came out, and so now with the 3 new designations it's gone from gimmicky to mildly annoying to me. Just my two-and-a-half cents

Thanks Jason. In this scenario I like the old saying �don�t hate the player, hate the game�. If these consigners would just post on net54 �fst� (thanks Frank) I wouldn�t lose sleep with PWCC guilt.

But honestly I like PWCC.

Did you like the altered 52T Mantle with no disclosure?

I followed the discussion on all the usual platforms. It appears PWCC fully acknowledged the potential changes that card has gone through. Not sure if the buyer knows anything with all the exposure and talk. Will be interesting to see if they ever come forward. Otherwise the card stays in PC until the next episode.

As a collector I stay in my lane. But I�m experienced enough to realize this is bigger than social media exposure and pressure to do the right thing by PWCC. To me the end game is with PSA. They will forever be liable for every single graded card out in circulation. It is the nature of their business right? The big question is will PSA do the right thing? I am almost willing to bet my bottom dollar if the new owner lawyered up they could bring a good case against PSA�s grade guarantee policy and come out with some 💵

PWCC refused to disclose anything in their auction description, despite clear evidence the card was altered, and offered a whole slew of nonsense to justify it. That, to me, is the takeaway from the fiasco. I can't spin it any other way, sorry.

I'm sure all blind collectors appreciate PWCC's labeling. Perhaps they can expand the service to dating apps.

Very nice pickup.

Do their stickers have Braille? Because I think the blind would appreciate knowing that their graded card has extreme eye appeal.

Brian (noted for coming up with insensitive but genius level ideas...and a PWCC dating app. Why didn't I think of that?)

Is there a legitimate purpose to this thread other than the counter all the negative pwcc threads lately? Why couldn�t this pick up been posted in the pick up thread? Pwcc isn�t the only company with �quality� cards. I get like three catalogs a month filled with them from auction companies.

Yes, often the same card after being altered or so bounced back and forth from probstein, ad nauseum
