This makes ZERO sense. I've seen him make massive vintage buys and completely lament just how close a card came to being in X condition. You don't advertise that if you're planning on altering the card later to improve it. The guy's had like a million dollar bounty on a specific '88 Fleer basketball sticker in PSA 10 for years. Why doesn't he just trim up a bunch and send them in?
Are there sales directly from his account or are all the sales from PWCC/Probstein/consignment/auction houses? Because a much more plausible explanation is that Brent has been telling customers "I think I can get this to bump. Mind if I try?" and then cracking his customers cards out and having his (highly suspected by now) in-house doctors trim them up and get the altered grade.
I don't see a financial motive here and I know for a fact that Evan is a "true collector" so something here isn't jiving.

ETA: Brent then turns around and says that all the owners of those cards are the ones that did the trimming, he just unwittingly submitted them to PSA. How can they prove otherwise? Brent was just an innocent pawn stuck in the middle of this giant conspiracy. That's how he's able to name so many card doctors at the beginning, because he knows whose cards he chopped up.

I didn’t miss my mark. You can’t pin everything on Brent.
Let’s see your supporting evidence.
