Platinum Card Breaks "G" Caught Trying to Steal a Redemption

[GMSportsCards]

Wonder if this attempt at theft will be the 'final straw' for others to quit breaking with them or if the gambling degens will just keep breaking with them?

I would think that most anyone who can stand "Meat Sweats G" talking for more than a few minutes, and definitely anyone who is vehemently defending him is probably of a very similar disposition to him and will stick with them.

More people need to listen to this video from SCR...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDU6zt_-jJk

So his pawn shop gets ripped off for 30k.
1. He kidnaps and holds against their will the robber's gf.
2. Threatens murder against the drug dealer.
3. Takes 40k in jewelry from the drug dealer, drugs and cash (so now he's making money off this deal.)
4. Grand Theft Auto on the drug dealer's Monte Carlo and held the drug dealer against his will.
5. Takes 7k from the robber AND the robber's BMW.

So who robbed who here? He started down 30k and left the whole situation doubling his money.

Highly doubt the legitimacy of this GTA/Sopranos wanna be, but if there is, there's multiple charges in that tape that he ratted himself out on...


This ruined my night. Cringed to another universe and had to shut it off a couple minutes in.

[alphaomegas]

No, different person and FWIW he's one of the biggest collectors in the hobby. His collection is absolutely insane. https://www.instagram.com/shyne150/?hl=en

O the scammer fraudster shyne lmfao that guy needs to go away too. So much fraud from him selling Pokémon cards. He be top candidate for card trimming and shilling.

All I see is modern junk we see how those players turn out. Also new players coming into leagues each year. Fake scarcity doesn’t make the card valuable.

Sucks knowing these guys won’t suffer any consequences for this.

[Asian62150]

"G" tried to play it off like a Justin Fields NT RPA was nothing. Regardless of what the value is, he was willing to cheat his own customers. He also openly admits to throwing Flawless cards in the trash. Treat other people's cards/property with respect. More importantly, treat your customers with respect.

In the breaking videos he seemed pretty smooth in his actions/routine. Didn't hesitate, didn't seem nervous, knew exactly what do in that situation. Double tapping, moving one box from here to there, knowing exactly how to hide things from the camera, etc...Tells me he's had a lot of practice doing this.

He tries to shame ppl who are trying to keep the hobby clean. For the most part, BODA, SCR, and others like them are trying to keep people accountable. If you've got an issue with them, it's probably because you're doing something that needs...accountability.

G and his crew lack respect, integrity, and professionalism. I haven't participated in breaks before but why break with them when there are so many other options? Do they offer prices that can't be beat? Do they get special boxes from Panini and Topps that have extra hits? What's the draw here?

[rogueriver]

Not to beat a dead horse, but if you trust a dude named G with your money you kind of deserve to be ripped off. Im just saying.

To be fair, I don't believe all of their employees do. It starts from the top though.

I will never believe that D, the guy that does day breaks most of the times, as well as new releases, is crooked.

D takes his time, breaks box by box showing the insides and outs, and is very polite.

I originally thought this was G's operation, until I saw someone post the company info and it's D's company.

Since I've been breaking with them, I believe D's sister is Megs, who married G.

They were out of New York for a while before they moved their business to NC, I'm assuming for lower cost of living and tax breaks.

Love D. I think he's in an odd position having his brother in law potentially try to steal a card.

They know who I am and I hope I'm not banned from breaking with D after this post, but we will see

Well it clears D does not care as he said nothing was done wrong by G. If he's defending G he likely knows G is a liar and has probalby done a lot of shady stuff before this and thus don't know why anyone who would want to do business with his company.

[notfast]

Didn’t spend a ton of time but has G been doing any breaks in the last week?

Last video I see with him in it on their YouTube was 8 days ago….

[DanTheCardMan]

Apparently, it's one of those deals where if you sit there and watch a guy long enough, over time, you start to feel like he's an actual acquaintance (especially if he shouts you out a few times when he sees your name run across a live chat). When in reality, he has absolutely no idea who the F you are and I guarantee you that your "friendship" would dissolve quickly if you stop participating in breaks. Put it this way, if you disappear, he's not going to be reaching out to see if you're ok. He's just a common grifter doing what he has to do to get a sale, and actually, there is no real problem with that. The problem is that he couldn't just live with the constant trickle of funds that came from being a grifter, he had to become a thief as well. Everybody wants to get rich quick, and some eventually devolve to illegal tactics to do so. You would think any partners in this venture would boot him for putting their livelihoods in danger, but it sounds like they're staying loyal to him. I suppose their business will continue on as they have probably grifted enough "friends" over the years that will believe his utterly ludicrous explanation out of misplaced loyalty to their one-sided "friendship." But I hope not. They deserve to join the "Cooks to 99's" of the breaking world in infamous anonymity.

I actually touched on this in my recent video. People are too quick to trust people they see on a TV or YouTube channel. They either put the blinkers on and ignore instances like this scam, or they’ll take their word for something and dive right in. Like we saw with so many vloggers supporting Marx Cards despite not having any idea who they were or what they were about - viewers of these vloggers buy in because they trust the vlogger not knowing they have NFI what they are talking about.

A company tries to steal from their customers and other customers are worried they won't be able to keep doing business with them after a post praising the leader of the company?

Is this real?

Plat should be apologizing profusely and begging their customers to return to them, not the other way around.

Also, it's a little messed up to think someone would never do anything crooked. If we're all honest with ourselves, 100% of us are capable of wrongdoing. If D was that straight of a guy, G would have been fired immediately. Doesn't matter if you're my brother, father, etc...if you cheat customers or try to cheat customers, you're gone. We can still be friends and I can forgive you, but you're not going to be part of my company moving forward. Zero tolerance for that kind of behavior, especially in an industry that relies on having a good reputation.

You don't have to beg for them to come back when you have people like Jaysabz that will keep breaking with them even if they stole everything he owned. People are not very smart these days He worries what they think of him. Yea thats right he worries what a thief thinks of him..:doh::doh:

[discodanman45]

It wouldn't surprise me if this actually makes Platinum more successful. Some flippers may respect the stealing, it is part of the game to rip people off. They might see nothing wrong with this at all.

I had this co-worker that started to sell solar four years ago on advice of a friend. He came over and was giving me his sales pitch, he even told me a story how he ripped off this old lady. He then quoted me $5.75 per W and my previous quotes were 2.75 W. These scumbags will try to rip off "friends," elderly, co-workers, etc... He worked at admissions at my college, so I should have known. ;)

Don't hate the playa, hate the game. The only issue was "G" was caught and flippers don't care. They would have done the same thing. May bring some extra credibility to their breaks.

I think it is George's company unless something changed over the last 5 years. I used to break with them from occasionally 2014-17. They're loud and obnoxious and i preferred other breakers but i'd check them all and buy my teams in PYT breaks from anyone back then.

And you're right i think D is Meg's brother. The reason i think it's G's company is because i remember watching one time and George chewed Dave's ass out for something and Dave was all sad and acting like he was gonna quit that day.

George probably gave Dave the President title to make him feel good and he is family. That would be my guess.

He's the owner. He simply has his employees doing the breaks until this fades away.

PWCC did far worse yet people stayed "loyal" or simply were far too addicted to what the dealer was offering to allow themselves to step away from their toxic non-sense. If people continue with or go back to PWCC after all the talk about their wrong-doings why would you expect any different for what is considered minor wrong-doings as compared to PWCC?

[KidKards101]

This was definitely surprising to me, coming from one of the biggest card breakers in the industry. I can't wrap my head around it as to why G did what he did for a Field auto redemption card. It's possible that the redemption card originally inside the 3rd box could be a shield auto and was switched with that Fields redemption, who knows. But yeah he did get caught red handed and clearly he knew that there was a redemption at the bottom of the box because it was on camera for a few seconds and while he was talking, he kinda stumbled upon his words because he was looking at who the redemption player was. So it's pretty obvious in that front.. Not to mention why he placed ONLY the 3rd box at the edge of the table and the other 3 boxes he tossed away. Everything that is needed to know as to what happened is laid out crystal clear in the video and through the audio.

The reason why it was mind boggling to me is that I used to break with them almost every night for like two years back in 2016-2018. Yes I've hit a bunch of high ended cards through the time I broke with them and I did receive all of them. Easily spent 5 figures each year. There were times where the shipped cards to me that didn't belong to me and so I reached out to them about it and shipped them back. Because of that, they would send me a free sealed box shipped, usually basketball because they know that is what I break the most. Yeah it was a lot of fun at that time, but eventually I stopped breaking after 2018 completely. And that goes for all the other breakers I broke with. Everything just skyrocketed in value for teams, players, etc to break into. Just couldn't keep up. I'm glad I left breaking, but it was quite an experience I'll never forget.

With regards to G, he was definitely nice to me and always said what's up everytime I'm in the room. D and Megz too were kind and I really didn't have any problems with any of them whatsoever. I know the way G breaks and yeah how loud he is is not for everyone, but to me, he made breaking fun and entertaining especially staying up those late nights until 2-3am. The way he handles cards is a different story, yeah he is rough with them and everytime he sleeves a card, I get nervous because I think he may blunt a corner or chip the edge of a card. Luckily for me, the cards I received came out to be fine. I definitely didn't commend his actions in that video and if I was still breaking with them, I probably would've left. It's just wrong in every way.

Haha it’s all good man. You’re actually the exception in a good way. Usually the apologists either don’t give up or just put their heads in the sand after their first take.

Just got approved to post in here. I had the redemption spot in this break. I reached out to Platinum and first got the same response they gave cardporn on IG, which is laughable if you watched the video. Now “G” is still trying to convince me that: 1. He didn’t look at the redemption. 2. He accidentally threw the redemption/box away. 3. The box on the right side of the table didn’t have the redemption in it. 4. The redemption I got in the mail is the original redemption that was left in the box. After watching the videos countless times, I don’t believe a single word they are telling me.

Who has been communicating with you? I've noticed a lack of G since this. I believe D is an honest guy, but maybe I'm a cuck. D's breaks are always thoroughly video'd and careful in my experience.

G's videos have him busting into the room like the Kool-Aid man, screaming and yelling at Mofos to fill some pathetic break.

I just found out about this yesterday. After watching that blow hard oaf try to explain himself, i personally think he’s careless, incompetent, a loud mouth, but not a thief. Either way I’ll never break with them again

He was literally caught red handed, on video, trying to steal a card. He's 1000% a thief.

[halldogg]

Or in a walk-in meat smoker.

[49ersSF]

The ironic thing about the video is that G was talking about doing redemptions and putting in the redemption codes right before he took over the break and attempted/stole a redemption.

It definitely makes you wonder how many of those redemptions he was doing were stolen and also how many of these stolen cards have ended up in their own manufactured box breaks.

[EBCollectibles]

If G isn't there anymore maybe D can get Ken Goldin to do breaks with him. G and Goldin are on the same page. Stealing from people are what they are good at.

Ask for your money back too.

I'd be completely unsatisfied as a customer if I bought a spot in a break, and the card for that spot (which at that point is... my card) ended up in "the trash," and then I had to spend time/energy/stress after the fact just to make sure you sent me... my card.

The card was yours before the box was opened. So they're not "doing you a solid" by sending you your property - it was yours.

The right thing by the customer is to refund them for the completely unprofessional service they received.

100% sure the original RPA was probably a Trey Lance RPA redemption, and would never find it's way into any of his personal repack products. He'd just sell it to buy a hoard of $20-150 singles to put in his junk release and pocket the rest (nearly a year's salary for many).

The Fields was just one of his decoys he kept around just in case a bigger fish appeared (which it did) and he was ever called out.

I'm torn on the swap theory. I don't see where it happens in the video, and don't want to give him too much credit as if he's running a sophisticated scheme as opposed to him just seeing an opportunity to snipe a card.

My gut says it didn't matter what name was on the redemption, he figured no one saw it, so it's a keep, redeem, grade, and flip.

When you stock apples at the store, you put the old ones up front and new ones in back.

[49ersSF]

They can't fill spots. In the past everything they put out would snap sell including product that was $1k+ a spot. I think many of their customer base with larger wallets have disappeared. Every time I watch their stream they seem to sit around for quite a long time trying to get things to fill even on their low end products and re-packs. I'm not sure if that is the market for breakers in general though.

For the first time in over a decade, people are really feeling a pinch in their wallets. Summer time doesn’t help either. Lot of vacations from pent-up demand the last two years.

Agree, but I'm still waiting for box prices to come down. They have maybe a little, but damn, they are still ridiculously priced out of proportion to what's potentially inside.

[packman80]

Resealed high dollar boxes, this #@#@#@#@ is happening way too much in the hobby.

With boxes selling for up to thousands of dollars you are going to have scammers finding ways to make boxes look factory sealed. In National thread there is post about a Breaker who at National opened up a box to do a live break of 2012 NBA Prizm and said he had shown to other dealers who offered to buy it and when it was opened it was filled with Austin Powers packs.

Only way to trust getting a real box anymore is to get direct from the factory now or a licensed dealer of there's.

[sethc1020]

Maybe I missed something because I didn't watch the entire video but when he grabbed the box to take the outside wrap off you can tell it was already cut because he stuck his hand in it and just pulled it off the box.

I would think this would work against them a lot. If I'm spending good money on box breaks then I want those boxes to be from a fresh case or at least from the manufacturer. If I knew a box breaker was buying boxes off random people (who are potentially selling boxes after getting a case hit or a huge hit and thus lowering the odds of another huge hit being in the same case) then I would take my money elsewhere.

Legit or not, it's a bad look. If it's legit, dude should be locked up. If it's a joke, it's not funny. Lose/lose situation but wouldn't expect anything more from these degenerate losers.

[imbluestreak23]

If you buy into breaks with this company, gotta be honest, you’re as scummy as PLATINUM GEEE Not sure how it’s possible to support such turds for the sake of losing money at a lottery

[dlouisb1313]

I bought into one break of there's about 6 years ago. As i got a card he say "This goes to David (and my last name.)" He then proceeds to say "Who the hell is that" Never again did i buy a break from him.

I thought after the last scandal, these guys would wise up. I mean, they run a business making millions so surely they won't continue doing dumb stuff to potentially screw it up, right?

I was wrong.

[apb4]

There is ample evidence now that these are bad people, anyone still breaking with them is indoctrinated in the cult. Why anyone would spend their money with these clowns is beyond me? Especially with all the reputable breakers out there. This turd G could be arrested for any number of crimes, menacing, harassment, intimidation, etc. sticking a box cuter in someone’s face should whether a joke or not should get you arrested anywhere.

These people should be exiled from the community before someone really gets hurt. The manufacturers and distributors should cut these clowns off not only to protect the consumers but also their business. Any company worth its weight would not want to be associated with these people. You are looking at a major black eye if and when they eventually go too far. Instead Panini and the like will continue to filter them product below MSRP that they can turn around and sell for 10x what they paid. It’s really sick

[OneSickDegen]

I wish nothing but the worst for this dirtbag and the people that give him money and product to stay in business.

[ATLOTP]

that is actually worse than I originally thought

[hanes1111]

100% Guaranteed that he is on something with the slurred delayed thought speech.

[solt0131]

And yet every break will still fill up

100% accurate. Nothing will change. It will be business as usual and they will continue to grow in popularity.

[BGT Masters]

Didn't realize the first time I saw the video he was holding a box cutter to the kids throat multiple times. I hope people working for him smarten up, press charges and sue the crap out of him.

[Asian62150]

Sadly, when Platinum is cheating clients and harming people (or at the very least threatening to harm people) and this behavior does not hurt their wallets at all, it just encourages, enables, and emboldens them to do even worse things.

I agree...Panini/Topps/Fanatics should cut them off immediately. No need to be associated with this kind of business at all.

But why? Why should anyone care about any of that stuff when it comes to profiteering from the hobby? Look at the PWCC fiasco and trimming of cards and PSA grading them and telling everyone its okay because restoration of cards is not bad?? Yet people still use PWCC even after they have been caught doing so many bad things.

The justification always is "well Im making good money so ill turn a blind eye to their shady practices because I profit from it". You want to talk about enabling the worst of the worst of the hobby, most people here already do it by supporting and doing business with PSA, PWCC, BNC cards. You name it. So many people here associate themselves with the bottom feeders of the hobby and somehow justify it as "okay".

The simple answer is, because BNC, PWCC, PSA, and all the "card restorers" have something that people want - rare high-end cards. People are afraid to call out the "bad apples" because they get banned from buying from them. That's why you see people call them out on the forums (no social media accounts linked), but not on their instagram account. Remember, this hobby is all about "ooohs and ahhhhs and likes and follows" on social media. That said, ethics go out the window.

Any update on this? Just back to business for Plat?

[Jman330]

From Day one back in the day of watching this dope’s breaks it just made me angry.. I’m 53 y.o and grew up in Howard Beach/Ozone Park NY. Anyone who knows of there (especially when I was young man growing up in the late 80’s sadly) knows what it’s mostly known for (I’m not one lol)
He just reminded me of every wannabe “tough guy” I unfortunately grew up around all he was missing was a Fila sweatsuit and a Caddy blasting house music lol… Just could tell he was a pos bully. Big mouth, Every other word the “F” word and just the slimy bully tactics with everyone who didn’t agree with him. Just sickening to watch..I just read the story today so dont know the current status of what’s going on now legally but just made me think of how the guy just pissed me off watching his breaks and the slimy feeling. Hopefully he gets his.I feel for the kid though. How has no one beat the s*&t out of this guy by now.

[Siberian13]

Yeah he just makes you assume what New Yorkers are like

G seems to always have that red in the face look. He's either always trying to force a giant crap or dude's a walking heart attack. Perhaps both?

If the victim were a minority or a female there would be a sea of white knights out in full bloom. The fact that the whole crew is white trash males does not really resonate in today's society.

No it’s more likely a case where the victim doesn’t want his victimizer in trouble and fails to acknowledge the crappy things done to him, some which have probably endangered his life.

No “probably” about it. There was a blade to his neck a couple of times. Both on & off camera. And this was just a mere 120 second glimpse into their world/relationship. The sad reality is that if “G” suffers no consequences because of these actions & goes unchecked, it will only make him more brazen. Next month it’ll be an actual slice. Next year it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a kill. Think Tommy/Spider scenes in Good Fellas or OJ/Hernandez in real life. Might not be this employee, but some road rage incident and some poor guy that accidentally cut him off in traffic on the wrong day.

This dude is a habitual line-stepper. A powder-keg on the brink of explosion. Warning signs have been everywhere.

Can someone summarize why Blowout is involved with this? No time to read through thred.

[Jaysabz]

I wasn't able to access the complaint, but Platinum was served on 10/31/2024, it's a Civil Contract action, under the VA Rules of Civil Procedure Platinum has 21 days to respond if they have a presence in VA, if not, they have 90, pretty sure they went from NY to NC, not sure where they are incorporated.

Does Blowout front product to breakers? Could that be the basis of the case, nonpayment for product?

If they don't front product, perhaps Platinum did some credit card charge backs?

Either way, civil suit for breach of contract is a suit seeking money Blowout claims Platinum owes them. Cheaper for Blowout to sue them in their own home state (VA) but harder to enforce a judgment if Platinum doesn't have a presence or assets in VA.

Checked out their YouTube last night.

There wasn't anything going live but it appears the number of breaks they run in way down.

The recent videos were of "G" (with his hair grown out - took me aback!) and his son breaking. Breaks from the last week appeared to be mostly single box breaks of Star Wars Galaxy Chrome 10 spot number breaks (0-10) and Platinum's own branded repack breaks.

Didn't look like the old break HQ either, looked like maybe from their home.

I did break with them pre-pandemic before wax costs went up 10x and before their scandals hit - I always liked "D" - the daytime breaker, and "G" was always nice to me - and man, he was high energy, filling breaks left and right - say what you like but he was a salesman and moved product!

Unfortunately it appears that they lost their access to a lot of product, whether it be due to the "scandals" that have been documented or alleged here, or Fanatics entering the picture, or some combination of both - and lack of product to break doesn't bode well for breakers who look to make a living breaking.

[SaveMeTheGum]

Only a cuck pays another man to handle his goods while he sits and watches. I'll never understand breaks.

[packman80]

Speaking of dirty breakers is Backyard Breakers aka the Backdoor Boys still screwing over people?

[bub838]

I'll keep an eye on the docket. Some states let you view the documents for free and some make you create an account with the particular county's prothonotary to view documents.

Have you tried reaching out the court clerk? I will, if you haven't already done so.
I was hoping someone local would grab the complaint (maybe Blowout will share;)) but it appears outside of local access, we'll need to submit a document request, to access the case.

Here's a copy of the complaint. The referenced product list wasn't included (court supposedly doesn't have a copy), but Platinum allegedly hasn't paid for about $1 million dollars worth of product.

Happy to see these guys fall off hard but it got me wondering, how are other breakers, like Layton, doing? I saw that they don't even upload individual break videos on their channel anymore which feels very lazy to me. If I bought into a break and couldn't watch it live, I wouldn't want to skim through a video that's several hours long to find my break.

[Siberian13]

Wonder if they did other shady stuff. Some of the same guys seemed to get big hits but could just have been degens too.

My thought as well. Almost as if the market and prices weren't sustainable, or, even real.

I wish someone had warned us.

It is crazy that it maybe got this far away from people that that maybe this kind of debt piled up for some (conjecture, obviously, making a lot assumptions here about how they got to that point).

You get to that put professionally the same way you do personally.

Not managing your cash flow, budgeting or projecting properly.

You don’t burn through cases like they do and wind up with 1 million in debt by accident. My guess is they spent at a rate their business model could not sustain.

Thanks for posting the complaint! I had meant to go digging but straight forgot. I don't get why Frontline (Blowout) is suing in VA. Sure, Platinum undoubtedly sold break spots to people in VA, which gives them jurisdiction, but in my practice it's so hard to collect on judgments as it is, let alone an out of state judgment, as Platinum is a NC corporation that transacted in VA but I'm sure has zero assets there, and Platinum is undoubtedly going to declare bankruptcy.

I'm sure that million is long gone. Unfortunately, this lawsuit is probably an exercise in futility on Blowout's part. I'm just wondering why Blowout didn't flag Platinum's account and stop sending product before they owed them $945,000!!
