It appears it may be forum content related

Wonder if their lawyers told them to do it, with BODA on their heels

Wow!!

This might be popcorn worthy.

This is insane! What happens to all pending submissions they have out?

Probably get sent back.

If it’s truly forum related, it’s not that surprising. PSA takes the axe to accounts all the time that criticize them online.

That feels like such a terrible business practice but I guess when you are 8 months behind on submissions you clearly aren't lacking for business opportunities so you can afford to lose some customers.

It's a good way to slow down submissions and process others faster...

Closing the account because of forum posts seems like a huge stretch to be TBH....were they offering cleaning services for cards? If so that is the nail in the coffin.

Was it my poll?

bmc398 · 08-19-2020, 09:40 AM

This is absolutely tied to pending litigation stemming from evidence that has been posted here. Why would you continue to do business with an entity that openly criticized you...continues to do so and hosts content that will likely be used in legal proceedings against you?

It’d be funny if they started censoring the board

All they need to do is start subbing under a different name like all the trimmers are doing. Problem solved.

Go find that Lebron thread that got closed because we accused the card of being trimmed, and I think it was PWCC that threatened Blowout since the value diminished due to threads claims of the card being trimmed.

ohio_mba · 08-19-2020, 11:24 AM

Let me put an even crazier theory out there. Again, just a theory meant to stir up the tinfoil hats.

What if PSA have launched an internal investigation into trimmed cards and are starting to close accounts that they've found evidence of submitting altered cards?

I like it! So whose the "fantastic store" in BO? Who was exactly shut down? Just some program in the forums to sub through BO?

newsflash,

outside of the large bulk sub that BO does for themselves, the MAJORITY of the cards in the PSA subs are from regular customers.

I can attest to that because I've helped unpack multiple orders when they've been returned.

The grades on a whole are nothing that crazy and of the subs I've seen come back have only had a few MINSIZEREQ or ALTERED ungraded rejects. (maybe 1 or 2 per sub, on avg)

Makes no sense.

The retail shop in Chantilly. What are you talking about?

What on earth happened????

mikejones · 08-19-2020, 11:36 AM

A lot of group subs on facebook are also getting banned so it's just not BO. Looks like PSA is cracking down on group subs. EDIT: Group subs are most vulnerable to being banned because people that alter cards can use them. I wonder how they can combat this.
