boxingcardman - What attacks? I've only asked questions, which I believe are warranted for all that Kevin has posted on this thread as well as numerous other threads. To answer your question, I am not employed by CU (or PSA), I own no stock in CU, I am not a PSA authorized dealer. I do own PSA cards, but also have some SGC and GAI cards.

Kevin - So your authentication service of previously holdered cards is no longer a reality?

Having just read what looked to be The Hobby Protection Act of California on a website, it seems it only applies to coins and political collectibles.

Baseball cards would not be included.

Anyone know of a link to the statute, an interpretation, or case law that suggests that the statute applies to ball cards??


Frank.

Hey Kevin,

Is the link to your site connected to the forum subject of "Detecting Card Alterations and Reprints"? If not, why not ask the MD if they'll throw it in there.

The act i alluded to was the "federal hobby protection act' and it too covers only numismatic and political items. In 1998 I believe the FTC got involved with autographs since that was forgery. I have no idea if case law would come into play regarding ballcards or memrobilia. i was simply stating what i thought Dan was talking about.

There is something I don't understand. The Gallery shows a number of ghost images cards. I can see how they can be altered to make them look like that but the end up looking like something worthless. Did ghost cards exist out of the "pack", therefore a rarity?

What is PSA's beef? Anyone can post cards that have been altered, esp. coming back from PSA as being so (which seems to happen a lot). I see nothing on altercards.com that is controversal except the subjective quote about 15%. I just don't get it unless there is more to it behind the scenes.

Fred C and Leon,

Naturally--any successful business pays the most attention to their best customers or those that have the potential of being so.

Dan,

You are absolutely right that soaking cards is altering and is absolutely wrong. One of the biggest surprises to me after I began posting on this board was that so many were engaged in this highly questionable practice.

James Drum, can you please edit your post and replace that 167 character long URL with this tinyurl?

Kevin banned from the CU board?

Who cares? What makes this a topic here? OT at best, right?

It would be so much easier to read this thread without that 167 character long URL posted up there.

Leon, I'm begging you to either make a board rule against long URL's or give me moderator status in which I will only fix long URL's.

Dan,

One of these days when I'm done with finals maybe I can try to compare browser or display or some kind of settings with you. Long URL's automatically wrap on my screen. I only have to scroll over if the scans are too large (grrr - and I hate that).

It'd drive me bananas to have to scroll over every time someone posted a URL. There's gotta be some settings or something that make mine wrap when yours don't. Maybe next week sometime we can figure it out, if you know anything about that. I wouldn't even know where to start looking at settings or toggles.

Am I the only one having this problem? Does anyone know how to set it up the way Joann evidently has hers set up? My computer may be a little old, but my monitor is a nice new flatscreen.
