2019 • BVG 2.5 cert# 0010163947 • BlowOut →
Sold on 6/11/2018 as a BVG 2.5 by PWCC to whitman111 (Gary Moser) for $2,469.00
Consigned to PWCC and sold on 10/14/2018 as a SGC 3 for $5,105.55
Value gain of $2,636.55!
Here is another SGC-graded card that was altered by Moser (and another card found from a collector's tip). I believe that the recent shift from PSA to SGC is a result of higher PSA prices and long turnaround times. This Ruth was taken to the cleaners—literally. Notice the red marks are virtually gone from its time in a BVG 2.5 holder. The dirtier a card is, the more chemical soaking it takes to clean. And the more chemical soaking, the more the natural colors of the card are stripped away, as you can see especially on the green-printed reverse. True conservation is a benign act. This is alteration, all in the name of personal gain.
The green circle shows the red mark before and after. The blue circle shows there was a crease in the lower left corner that has been pressed out. PWCC's deceptive description of the SGC 3 confirms this: "Incredibly, this card is void of any typical wrinkles or creasing."
