PWCC had a Premier auction ending tonight. With 1 second to go in the auction, they extended it another day and are still accepting bids.
Knew it wouldn't long before they made the list. https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1503966 Follow along live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0A8_befZrI

Count me in as one, however, who feels the only scam associated with the Pokemon case was the stunt that Logan Paul played on the general public. I will never be convinced he did not know the case was bad before he claims to have paid 3.5 for it. Not exonerating Hart for his part in authenticating it but I don't think any real money was ever at risk here.

As it turns out Mike Baker's RCR Jordan's were legit, though it is quite possible they were the cards that were removed from slabs to make room for the counterfeits.

Do you have a link or source. Initial reports were that Mike never sealed them in his cases, and the stickers themselves were counterfeit.

Mike himself confirmed they were indeed his stickers and the cards were legit

Corrected the list to say: 7) Counterfeit slabs being passed at card shows in FL, NV, PA, TX. Suspects arrested in Dallas; one tased for trying to escape. Las Vegas Card Show, Beckett Industry Summit, Dallas, Bay Area Card Show Clearwater FL, Philly. Note: Latest news is that the Mike Baker sleeved Jordans are real and were graded by Baker in Dallas. Here's another link with one of the scammed guys on Jordan RCs who then tried to sell them on eBay last November. Sounds like Genamint software at PSA may not be catching resubmitted cards like they're expected to. https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494918

Con men do their best work fleecing greedy people who are trying to pull a fast one themselves.
