An introduction of some sort would probably be a good idea? Who's Greg??? Is he like "Charlie?"

I Googled "Greg" then clicked on "Images". This was the first pic that came up. Not sure if it's the same person.

They have to be every bit as good as Brent and Betsy and look at how well they done.

Well, I Googled the words "Greg's credentials" and this was the first image that came up. As can be seen, I'm no internet detective, lol!

I just did a little reading about this on their website. It's a little confusing but it appears the "Purple Label" picks out nicer cards for their grade and has a database so you can verify it to be true. Not to completely compare but doesn't PWCC have something like this and is this something the hobby really needs? I know I'll likely never be a user of this service and will more than likely scrape off the purple label of any card I buy (if there ever is one).

Would be interested in other opinions, though, if I'm missing something here.

My point is if you come on here and start a thread touting your or your employers services...I think you should atleast describe the services you are offering and the value they provide...not leave us guessing or have to figure it out ourselves.

They have done so in the past. Don't feel like searching for the old threads but it has been discussed fairly extensively. That being said until you're a household name a recap at the beginning of any thread about the service probably isn't the worst idea.

I agree that a service of identifying forgeries would have merit. But the authenticators would have to really know their stuff. Currently there is NO ENTITY in the entire hobby who is looking out for the customer. Who is in our corner when it comes to identifying and eliminating fraud in the hobby? The Auction Houses? The Dealers? The TPGs? Sloan's Letters are a clear indication that its only about money and pleasing shareholders.

The answer is no one. We are left to do it ourselves. If not for a couple of tech-savvy sleuths on Blowout, this entire mess would�ve gone completely unnoticed. And even on Blowout, the moderator is now compressing threads and minimizing the scandal�s exposure. This, within the one remaining form of communication we consumers have (the forums). The recent revelation of the 31 card PWCC/PSA submission was combined into the Mantle thread, where it won�t be viewed by nearly as many people.

It would actually make for a great movie, in which a few individuals have to combat an entire corrupt industry. But to get back on point, there would be a need for a trustworthy and knowledgeable entity that would simply deem Cards as altered or not. As for this �looks good for the grade sticker� nonsense, there is just no need. Collectors are perfectly capable of determining what looks good and what they want in their collections.
