Edit: Clarify that Sean is listed as a seller of Evan's presumed altered cards and those from another trimmer.

I believe the Mick was graded many years ago, and he bought it that way.

Hoping that Sean is just fencing bad cards he didn't realize were altered.

Agree on both comments above about Sean. No way he would be involved with this. Stand up guy who just flips collections.

I know Sean pretty well and do not believe he will be found to be engaged in fraud. Any one of us could accidentally sell a bad TPG graded card which we didn't know was messed up.

aaaaaaaand...the cycle continues.

The collateral damage in terms of price value to graded cards is going to Significant.

Settle down, Chuck .
I prefer to use the half glass full terminology and say most of TPG graded cards are good.
This whole debacle has just made it so much more relevant to not buy the holder and KNOW your cards, yourself.

you mean the 2.8 million dollar one LOLLOL...nah, just popped reviewed and flipped with conservation when he was 12.

It's just a $3 million dollar beat between friends.

That card has been in a 9 holder long before Evan bought it. I dont see any evidence in that blowout thread that he trimmed anything. Although the paper cutter purchase isn't exactly a good sign. An explanation for that, if there is one, could go a long way.

Did I miss the part where they showed proof of who trimmed or consigned the cards? Or is just that the ebay ID associated with his business purchased them?

Come on, get real. Paper cutter aside they have found numerous cards that were bought by him and resold in fairly short order, altered, for significant gains. Where there is smoke, if it walks like a duck, etc etc etc

I don’t think many of the sales were real......they were fake Kabookie Thester BS.

If the FBI is actually investigating this the evidence should be clear. Someone consigned all of these altered cards. The only question will be did they change hands privately or at a show first.
