Two of my cards were outed publicly by rogermaris (a fake Jordan Ultra platinum medallion) and 31245@comc (a Trimmed Lebron 2003 Hardcourt Futures PSA 10).
1. Was I upset that my card was outed? Yes.
2. Did they do the right thing by outing the card- Yes.
3. Was I 100% sure that rogermaris and 31245@comc were correct in their assessment?
I was not but again I am no expert in identifying fakes and trimmed cards. Based on the evidence they presented, it was likely that my Jordan was fake and Lebron was trimmed.
4. Can BODA be wrong in their assessment?
Their job is to present the evidence and it is up to the owners of the card in question and other collectors to make their own assessment based on the evidence presented. If the owner chooses to believe that BODA is wrong, it is up to them. I could have done the same thing but I chose to return my Jordan Ultra Platinum Medallion and Lebron Hardcourt Futures since their reputation was tarnished
Fortunately, I was able to return both the cards to the sellers for a full refund using the evidence presented by rogermaris and 31245@comc. I hope the buyers can use the evidence presented here (by 31245@comc, buybuymj and Abra) to return the card if they are planning to go that route unless they are convinced it is not altered.

I second this. I too reached out to 312 for advice prior to a purchase and found 312 very helpful in offering an opinion - nothing more - of the card. I took that opinion into account in making my decision, but thats it. As with PCP my offers to provide some sort of token of gratitude were declined. 312 doesn’t have to provide ANY opinion at all. 312 is a member of the community doing a lot of good work, and evaluating based on the evidence present. Tough to hold someone to a standard of excellence when reviewing pictures on line that the grading companies themselves - holding the physical card - can’t achieve.
