Outed cards, now including a 130K gain on an Aaron rookie

Peter, sounds like a good subject for another article. Things like this must get off the message boards and into the mainstream

Without someone with inside knowledge willing to break ranks with the machine, nothing in the public domain is going to help. It's a joke -- all the shit that's been exposed and the stock is way up and the submission queue has never been longer. My friend can't even get a card reholdered for me after THREE months. And so far, no one on the inside is breaking ranks, they're too busy feeding at the trough. PSA has it all figured out. Give Joe credit. The brand he built/solidified looks like it can withstand a nuclear attack.

Will law enforcement make a difference? We'll see.

Hmmmm.... last Mile High had some controversy and cards taken down -- we'll see if there's any substance to this one (from BO).

I agree with Johnny to hang in there. You and BODA are making a difference - it�s a marathon not a sprint (or even a 10k), and the facts are on the side of right. Some change will come of this (I hope). We need a more honest �hobby�, and I feel strongly that recent and continued efforts will help push the hobby in that direction. Forward!

That's a very good assessment of the situation and it is maddening that PSA has not even made a public gesture to attempt to minimize or curtail the number of doctored cards being holdered, but rather it's just business as usual. I regard their silence as an admission that they can't detect altered cards and have no interest in spending money and time on technology to address the problem. Why should they? They're making money hand over fist and why cut into the profits?

Or they can detect them, but choose not to because it's what the business is built on.
