BUYER BEWARE: PWCC Selling Altered 1909 E102 Ty Cobb SGC 4

[CaptSpaulding]

LOL. Appears Brent took down the E102 Cobb.

Brent since you are reading the board...Might want to check with your lawyer but it might behoove you to end listings of altered cards BEFORE we make an ass out of you here. You know which cards are altered...start with the ones that you put stickers on. I have more than a dozen more that are suspect. You want to end them or should I post them?

Did he end the two modern cards that were separately identified as already having been outed?

Yes..

LOL if it weren't so appalling it would be funny.

I agree with last post if it wasn't so offensive what PWCC and Brent Huigens do then it would be funny.

If Brent is certifying his own cards with these stickers, and only a limited number of these stickers are being awarded each auction, isn't this misrepresenting to possible consignors the possibility of earning one of these stickers that can increase the value of their card, according to PWCC's alleged data, by 130-200%?

I'll cite one example here of a collector who submitted a card to PWCC in the hopes that Brent would award him a PWCC Certified sticker. If there was ever a case to be made that this is out-and-out fraud, 6celtics33 has a strong one:




The consignor of that BVG 7 Russell sent the card to PWCC specifically because he thought it was high end and deserved an allegedly unbiased PWCC high end sticker. Instead Brent allegedly saw two wrinkles in it, which he listed in the description. Beckett Vintage Grading did not see any wrinkles (or it would not have been a BVG 7!) nor did the consignor.

The whitman111 eBay account wins the card, either Gary Moser or whoever else is using the whitman111 ID has it altered, and it is certified as a PSA 7.5 with a PWCC-PQ sticker. And there is no mention of any wrinkles. And it gains over $21,000.

That's disturbing.

Just don't get how guys like Brent walk around comfortably knowing they screwed folks out of a lot of money?

At the very least it is bid manipulation and tampering. I don’t see how this is different than Mastro’s shill bidding.
