Longtime dealer Johnny Adams Jr. trimmed vintage cards and sold thru PWCC for years

[corndog]

78 year old Johnny Adams, Jr. according to his one page website has been buying and selling cards since 1965.
Other vintage collectors may be able to share his history when they see the name.

Johnny Adams, Jr. is named as a card trimmer in the "anonymous letter from a PSA insider" posted online by SportsCardRadio.Com. http://www.sportscardradio.com/anony...-trimmer-list/

His Ebay user ID is johnnyadamsjr and he has had the same user ID for 20 years. https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...rchInterval=30

His masked Ebay ID is a***j and his masked VCP ID is m***h.

The vast majority of his purchases are from PWCC and probstein123 and all of his purchased cards that he resells are consigned through PWCC or at card shows.
His feedback received as a buyer is over 5,900.
The date range of trimmed cards that I have found so far are from 2014 to December 2018.
Many of his graded card purchases are resold by PWCC in the same holder as simple flips.
Some are cracked and regraded with improved grade bumps with no apparent alteration (that I can see).
The rest are cracked out, trimmed and regraded with improved grades including PSA 10s.
All of his cards are vintage and all grading has been by PSA.
