First, here is a brief summary of the entire PWCC fraud as it has unraveled for those who are just learning about it:

I'll preface this post by saying that I suspect that whitman111 is jointly used by PWCC and Moser to purchase cards. I also suspect that at least some of these cards were accidentally purchased on the pwcc_auctions account as opposed to the whitman111 account. Below are six cards that were purchased by PWCC, altered, and sold by PWCC. I will show that at least four were altered by Gary Moser via whitman111. I'd also ask that particular attention is paid to the dates in this thread. PWCC has purchased cards to alter as far back as 2011. It likely goes back further too, but I simply haven't gotten there yet. The most recent card purchase from pwcc_auctions is circa 2014. This is not a new scheme.

Here are the archives of the pwcc_auctions ID (PWCC's only known eBay account) buyer feedback:

Identifying PWCC's buyer code:

Using links above, PWCC purchased an item from user jmas2073, who only has 6 feedback:


That user has left feedback for only one red shooting star account, u***p. That means this is PWCC's buyer code on Ebay (it is different on Vintage Card Prices):


Link: https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...rchInterval=30

Using the two link archives above, sellers who sold to PWCC can be identified. Using the feedback that the seller left for PWCC, the item that PWCC purchased can be identified. Using Vintage Card Prices, the seller name can be matched up with the card purchased and the grade to locate a picture of the item. Otherwise, Worthpoint can be used to find an exact title match to the purchased item. To link these cards bought and sold by PWCC to Gary Moser, the PSA website can be used to identify additional cards in that PSA submission. The PSA website or PWCC's auction archive will have photos of these cards. Next, Vintage Card Prices can be used to locate cards purchased by whitman111 in lower grade. If these two cards are the same, the submission can be linked to Gary Moser. The first four cards are in Gary Moser submissions. Linking back the fifth and sixth cards is still a work in progress.

There are many more altered cards in these PSA submissions, but all I'm going to post here for now is a single altered card purchased by PWCC and an accompanying card (altered or unaltered) in the same PSA submission that can be linked to Gary Moser.

My final note is that VCP links will not work if not logged in. I believe there are images of all relevant info from VCP included below.

This one has gone though a lot of alteration on the back. This card was also damaged (paper loss) due to alteration.
