Has anyone determined the identity of the eBay user whitman111?

Looks like they've recently bought cards from Greg Morris and painthistorian. Will those cards end up trimmed/bleached in slabs?

I did not know that. Is that why SGC got out of the autograph business?

Supposedly no, their autograph authenticators got hired by other companies.
