PWCC Statement on Recent Card Trimming Concerns

Dpeck100 · #1 06-10-2019, 06:47 PM

My buddy Rob just forwarded me an email he got from PWCC in regards to a card he purchased that was outed as a Gary Moser example that was trimmed.

They want him to send it back and they will "work" to get his refund and "work" to get the the card taken out of circulation by ultimately causing the card to be forwarded to law enforcement.

I checked with him if I could share and I thought readers would be interested in the info.

Kick it to the FBI like they did in WIWAG? Hope I am reading that wrong.
Oh I did read it wrong, this is PWCC not PSA sorry.

Have to get their hands on the evidence.

Just got my email as well from an item purchased November 2018. Not going into any more detail, but the gist as stated above is right -- send the card back and we'll "work to refund your purchase price", and take the card out of circulation by forwarding it to law enforcement.

Fortunately it's just a single card for me. So far...

I'd imagine these templated emails will be arriving to folks in the hobby en masse in the coming days.

Looks way too white for a Leaf.

Man that whole concept just smells funny. Please send us the evidence so that we can TRY and pay you back and even though we have been completely untrustworthy to date, trust us to give the card to the authorities.

Or maybe give us the card back and we'll try and resell it so we can give you your money back without costing us anything???

If not too much time has passed, I would definitely pursue your refunds via either eBay or PayPal (NOT PWCC). Both eBay and PayPal will refund you in full, and then they will collect the funds from PWCC. That way, you won't have to play the waiting game indefinitely, and won't have to worry about actually getting your refund. Ebay will take the headache out of it, and they'll collect the funds from PWCC after the fact.

As long as it's within the accepted time frame, why would anyone go the more difficult and problematic route? With all of its flaws, at least eBay has excellent Buyer Protection Policies.

That was originally a $9,000 card that Moser cracked out and doctored. So much for the claim on here that Moser would not have taken a chance by "conserving" the $3,000 Musial card. The risk/reward trade off is rather high when a one grade bump is worth $32K.

As long as you can afford to lose, which he clearly can, it's just a risk reward calculation for him. Anyone who thought he wouldn't crack out the Musial without some assurance of a bump from the inside doesn't understand the scale on which he operates, or the mindset.

I understand that everything that has been uncovered to this point isn't even a scratch on the tip of a very huge iceberg.

I don't understand the mind set of those that don't understand how shady the hobby is. My favorite part is how they think something could be going on but it doesn't affect them. I love the I collect this and the scammers stay away from it because there is no real $ in it.LOL dream on sucker. Scammers are selling $2 fake autographed cards up to the most expensive card in the hobby.

Lets not forget the morons who think their PSA card(s) are not affected because this is something new.LOL PSA has been a scam since the beginning. They 100% need to fail if this hobby is going to go forward and clean itself up.

I know my posts are not very popular on this forum but at least they are honest.

Yeah, "it doesn't affect me" is certainly one of the more common defense mechanisms people employ. I am probably guilty of it myself.

You are absolutely correct. Some people will go into Car analogies instead of just opening their eyes and see the nose in front of their face.

I hope PSA goes bankrupt much like I hoped GM would go bankrupt back in 1982 when My Trans Am was a lemon. I never purchased another GM piece of S***. My dream came true many years later but then the government inexplicably bailed them out. Maybe PSA will get bailed out by the Government?

There's your car analogy for the day car guys, enjoy....

I'm starting to think you're like Mike O'Keeffe and just hate cards.
