I'm just glad to see the Backstreet Boys faction of trimmers joining forces with the Blink-182 faction.

Just to confirm that the red shirt guy is indeed Brandon:

Someone should ask if they are also getting 15% less of the card.

National must look like an FBI Informant Explorer Scout gathering mixed with Keyboard Warriors of America. Everyone taking and posting pictures of each other.

Every high grade vintage PSA must be getting pulled my out of the Safety Deposit Box to determine if their investment is now close to worthless.

I went to a show many years ago and a guy was trying to sell me a 1954 Topps Hank Aaron with a big chunk missing. "Why is the card priced at 80% of the near mint price?" I asked him.

"Because 80% of the card is still there," he replied.

Anybody get a picture of Mohawks partner in crime Tim Hart? I have seen Mohawk and Brandon at shows and probably Tim but don't have a face to put with the name.

No one needs to raise their voice to make a point and risk getting escorted out of the show.

I would bet that those who know about the bad guys are giving the scumbags the evil eye and informing others who are there.

This is a marathon, not a sprint.

By the photos posted of the PWCC booth here and on Twitter, many people are steering clear of them. This is great to see.
For sure, not asking for anyone to make a scene, yell, get kicked out..... I was just curious if people (members here) have tried speaking with any of these accused dealers.

Maybe they have a rebuttal, which they would like to pass along?

Now that’s funny.

Any time these clowns spoke around here they deny deny deny. What do you expect them to now be like welllllllll


They are going to lie until the wheels fall off or ones becomes an informant.

Truth or lie (most likely), we don't learn anything, if no one asks questions.

Would have loved to be within earshot of that conversation with Brandon and Justin.

No need to wonder. I guarantee that was part of their tête-à-tête.

They felt comfortable enough to show up, as did PWCC.

They clearly feel comfortable showing up with the many other scam artists and trimmers at the National - there's safety in numbers after all and most of their marks are clueless.

PWCC's got Jeffrey Lichtman and they're "cooperating" with the FBI. I guarantee you these two, however, are worried...especially if they brought any trimmed cards with them to the show that could be seized as evidence. How about last year?

Remember Doug Allen? He appeared at a National Convention not that long before he was convicted. The only thing that would likely preclude a live takedown would be the FBI's relative lack of knowledge about the industry.

Wow. So much going on, its tough to keep track of it all.

Would love to see a book put out with everything that happened; perhaps Mouschi can be commissioned to pen another book?

eBay's Evidenciary department is going to be contacting me about their account if anyone would like to consolidate their posts from the other threads here.

Only discussing Justin or all the other POS discovered?

Here's a good resource.
