Forgot to post a link to the court documents, should someone want to take a look at the full complaint.

Alt files lawsuit against PWCC alleging fraud in Patrick Mahomes, Kobe Bryant card auctions

Never did anything.... would you be surprised to learn that Nat appears to have actually invested into Leore and Alt?

I'm not surprised at all. It amazes me even to this day that ...

lmao

Leore Avadar got called out for theft and fraud on the other forums and it's great to see that Rat Turner / PSA never did anything to go after this clown when he basically scammed PSA and stole from Artee.

We know this is just a fluff piece for their bull shit driven business. Thanks for ...

Thought Abra and Mindcycle might enjoy this "investment" article written by the guys from alt.

Tariffs are driving investors to Pokémon and Mickey Mantle as trading cards gain credibility as domestic assets

Also, keep an eye out for fake 2004 Ulitmate Collection buybacks, specifically Michael Jordan.

Here's one that was recently sold on eBay.


A few other recent sales of fakes.

Doesn't exactly fit the thread description, but thought this would be a good thread to share the warning.

Lots of counterfeit (fake autos, authentication, serial numbers, stickers,.....) hitting the market.

Several images can be found here, but here's a recent example that passed eBay/CGC ...

Interesting listen.

I was disappointed Jeremy didn't fall back on his association with Tag for some of his questions, especially when asking about grading companies communication and Kurt saying before/after is one of the only detection methods.

Not surprising, but if accurate and psa ...

For me personally, it really comes down to what is being done to the card and why it is being done. I don't think there's many that would complain about someone simply wiping dust/dirt off the surface, as they would likely do the same, before putting the card into their own collection.
When someone ...

Nice to see the listing pulled and reaching out to psa is in the works. Some of the complaints towards blowout weren't necessary but I think it's funny that the Blowout employee is getting upset.

I had discussed this in at least one of the now deleted threads (best for the hobby😂), but always like ...

Supposedly Brent and crew were ousted but their BS still appears to be engrained within pwcc.

The following BO thread related to counterfeit PMG's was started one week before the Darren Rovell tweet in the OP, about Brent leaving. There's been several additional updates, as more counterfeit cards ...

I thought it was an interesting interview and there is likely some truth (a lot?) in the videos, but heavy on speculation for someone on the inside.
Regarding the black label "rumor", they even claimed it occurred after they left and referenced the blowout thread as a source. Would have helped ...

Always funny (disappointingly) to see the efforts made in the hobby to censor topics/discussions.
Totally agree, even if not directly from goldin/geoff, the two likely had input in all those blowout threads getting purged and members suspended/banned.

On a similar topic, Ken posted on Twitter ...

Thanks for the update man. Does look to be the same seller.. 🤦‍♂️ I'll flag a few of those as well but didn't do much good last time with the bball cards we found. eBay seems to shy away from doing anything about backdoored cards which is too bad.


Yeah, it's disappointing eBay and now ...

Not basketball specific but the accounts dumping the fake bowman's best autos (among all the other fake stuff being sold) appear to have got some of their baseball stuff passed by all the major grading companies.

Yeah, shockingly (typo and all) that appears to be a fake letter and BBCE wrapped box. Same BBCE cert (different box and letter) was pictured in this 2017 Heritage listing.

Dan the card man detailing another attempted BBCE scam.

Thanks for the updates man. Scary that Meigray could be duped like this. I don't know what lengths the scammers had to go to in order to convince them to accept those photoshopped images as proof, but if it was just pointing them to a fake website that's pretty sad. One would hope the scammers ...

Newest update from Meigray

Yeah, that Meigray letter was in response to the first public questioning of the photo-match. Like cardporn, Meigray was quick to delete the post and link to the document, after the foundation was apparently discovered to be fake.

Here's some saved images of the original tweet and response ...

That blowout thread is pretty interesting, especially if it ends up being the same alleged scammer. Recent posts suggest another match to the addresses.

For what it's worth, the address noted in the process server documents from the Lebron RPA lawsuit isn't a 100% match to the blowout info. It's ...

Some reference info on the other items available/sold.

Nice catch on the new accounts.
In addition to the bowman's bests, both accounts have well known counterfeits among the items listed.

Kobe ovation, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax,....

In my opinion, unless there's an early dismissal/settlement (buyout) these legal battles will only be hurting the collector/hobby in the short-term.

Fanatics won't stop signing players to exclusive deals, so the remaining years of Panini's exclusive rights could get real ugly, especially when ...
