FBI officials were at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago this weekend, issuing subpoenas related to card doctoring scandal. Subpoenas mentioned PWCC and its founder Brent Huigens and any information related to his or the company’s submissions to graders.

Where are all the people saying this wouldn’t happen now?

Funny how people hide. Kind of like the people who would use “boda” as a insult for years around here. Now it’s in the news and those people are silent. Good job guys you did something good for the hobby, we all owe you one.

Kudos to all the folks that did all the heavy lifting tracking down this in the first place. Looks like there could be some real consequences which can only be good for everyone.

Only a handful of them left. And they're quieter this week than they were last.

Me too....as someone (like a lot of others on this forum, grading, vintage, etc.) that pours a good amount of money into the hobby, I'm glad this is finally being taken seriously...

Heard the Skerbes (always makes me think of that pirate's disease, scurvy) bounced early Friday night. Hopefully they were able to get their parting gifts from the FBI.

PWCC just about ruined the hobby. They're criminals and should both go to jail, imo.

Didn't know which thread to put this in, but I am curious for any update on how things went at the Blowout Cards section at the National?

Those guys have been through a rough 3 months fighting off evil.

I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you to Fish, Houdini, and the entire BO team.

I made it a point to pick up some boxes from the BO crew working the show.
